SWAROVSKI x Tokujin Yoshioka

"The passage of time marked by the luminance of crystal."

SWAROVSKI has presented a new watch "LAKE OF SHIMMER"-AVANT Time N˚3 designed by Tokujin Yoshioka.。

The watch marks the passage of time by the luminance of the dial of the watch, which is consisted of one piece of twelve faceted crystal.

Inspired by the facade of the SWAROVSKI stand that Tokujin has designed in 2009 for Baselworld, the fine bracelet of this watch reinterprets the scenery as if the sunlight reflects on the surface of the lake, and emits the luminance.

The watch, distinctly representing SWAROVSKI's essence of the poetic luminance, and the elegance, has been born.

Release date: 2012.September

FANCL - Corporate Logo and Package Design

In the occasion of re-branding of a Japanese cosmetic brand, FANCL, Tokujin has designed their new corporate logo, and a whole-renewed bottle and packages.

"Nothing but Beauty"

With the purpose not merely to renew the design nor "transform" the image of the brand, this is "a new departure and evolution from its origin" in order to deliver the FANCL's true beauty and inspiration, cultivated in the 32 year-old brand history. The symbolic design, reminding of the brand's origin of its innovative beauty and unceasing challenge to Preservation-Free, has been launched.

Imaging the form of pure water overflowing and rising up, the design brings out the high intellectual sense and the brand's power to enhance the inner beauty.
