The Cadillac Fairview Corporation, Canada

The magic of the Lunar New Year!

As part of 2023 Lunar New Year, we put together a captivating installation that was unveiled in five of Canada’s leading and busiest shopping centres. The exhibit, on display in January and February 2023, was inspired by the Supertree Grove, a spectacular symbol of Singapore.

The metal trunks of the Supertrees designed by MK Illumination were adorned with white lights and peach blossoms. We also added branded vinyl flooring and towering five-foot-tall bunnies with red frames and golden lights to represent the Chinese zodiac sign of 2023, an important symbol that can easily be replaced to match the new sign each year. The overall effect provided an immersive experience for the tenants and customers alike.

This décor even became a soothing meeting place where passers-by gathered to rest, chat and share a hot beverage: a well-deserved break that transported them out of time for a few moments of bliss.

Five shopping centres:

CF Toronto Eaton Centre (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
CF Fairview Mall (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
CF Markville (Markham, Ontario, Canada)
CF Pacific Centre (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada)
CF Richmond Centre (Richmond, British Columbia, Canada)

Let us inspire you!
