The Shining Christmas Tree
sourcing its silhouette from that of the shard, UK designer lee broom and design brand nude unveil ‘the tree of glass’ within the restaurant aqua shard, located on the skyscraper’s 31st floor. the collaboration shapes a unique interpretation of the traditional christmas tree, turning the festive feature into an illuminated sculpture of 245 hand-blown glass LED pendant lights. floating in a formation that stands just under 10 meters tall, the pendant shade designs combine to create a single shard-shaped tree of light and glass. however, each piece is independently recognizable and is available for purchase, with proceeds donated to the british red cross.
