Crystal brand Swarovski has launched its debut homeware range with products by designers including Raw Edges, Aldo Bakker, and the late Zaha Hadid.


Products in the Atelier Swarovski Home range from vases, bookends and candleholders to an architecturally themed chess set, and have been launched to "address a global interest and customer demand for design objects within the home".


Zaha Hadid, architect and designer who died suddenly last month, has contributed a crystal and metal centrepiece composed of several conjoined curved columns that reference "the process of crystallisation occurring in nature".


Among others, London design studio Raw Edges has created a set of bowls that mark its first collaboration with the brand. The pieces are made using a laser-jet crystal printing technique, and feature coloured hatched patterns on the interior that are warped by the surrounding crystal.


Each of the pieces features surfaces made of scattered crystals, which apparently reference star formations and space photography.


The entire collection was on show in an exhibition held at Cusani 5 in Milan's Brera district, during the city's design week, and will be available to buy later in the year. Prices for products will range from €150 (£120) to €20,000 (£15,900).
