Earlier, Philips showcased a new partnership with Swarovski and now it is time to enjoy their first results at the Active Crystals website.

"We are combining luxurious design with the practical, everyday benefits of consumer electronics to complement Philips' brand promise "sense and simplicity" and Swarovski brand promise of Poetry & Precision", says Rudy Provoost, Chief Executive Officer of Philips Consumer Electronics.

P.S.

For those who adore the second approach, the collection will be out in stores from August.
