Paul Otellini, a past CEO and president of Intel, needed a unique way to express his thanks and gratitude toward international dignitaries and world leaders.
Intel came out with a new microprocessor chip and presented the project to us, premarket. The CEO wanted to thank every dignitary from each country that was going to help distribute this microprocessing chip. Using the chip as inspiration, we had to figure out how to imbed it into crystal, a higher end material.
Cristaux took Intel’s unreleased computer chips and incorporated them into one of our designer pieces creating an authentic and unique line of gifts. It is because of this project that Cristaux now has its own custom built sand blasting machines that allow us to perform this type of project in-house.
