Presenting "Anton Hirzinger" (Swarovski)
Anton Hirzinger: Anton joined Swarovski in 1989. His designs are the logo pieces for Swarovski - the Maxi Swan and the
1995 Centenary Swan. He is the designer for the third piece of the Masquerade Trilogy - his first annual edition piece.
He has also designed the exquisite Crystal Planet which may become his most notable creation. He has his signature
etched on the 10th Anniversary Squirrel mirror plate-base and on the Crystal Planet. He makes visits to the US and is a
delightful person. Anton seems to have mastered the swans,the SCS member and renewal Swans. Anton is also the
desigenr of the 2011 SCS Annual Edition Polar Bear Siku and the 2013 Stephanie dinosaur. Even as a little boy, Anton
Hirzinger dreamed of becoming a sculptor one day. An unusual wish for a small child, but one which already hinted at
the creative inclination and talent which were slumbering under the surface. Like most of his colleagues in the crystal
business, Anton Hirzinger is absolutely passionate about "his material". It was this passion which led him to Swarovski
where he laid the foundation for his future career. In 1986 he started work at the Crystal Shop in Wattens where he
demonstrated the art of glass-cutting and engraving for the visitors. In 1991 he joined the Swarovski Design Team.
This was a big step for him, as up to then he had spent most of his time putting the finishing touches tocrystal, whereas
now he was suddenly responsible for the initial design---a new challenge, which he finds immensely more exciting and inspirational and has mastered with great
success. Anton Hirzinger made a name for himself with his design for the Swarovski Centenary Swan. He created the design in 1993 with the 100-year anniversary
in 1995 in mind. It was this impressive Swan which Hirzinger used as a model for his "Maxi Swan" from the Silver Crystal line. With these famous designs,
Anton has fulfilled the dream of his youth. Today Anton Hirzinger is a father himself and likes to spend what little leisure time he has with his family in the surrounding countryside.
