A mesmerising 10-metre-long lighting tunnel will be illuminated, providing a picture-perfect backdrop for a festive-themed selfie or family photograph. This will be complemented by the majestic 7,2-metre-tall Dior Christmas tree, adorned with bespoke craftsmanship and a touch of luxury.
This magnificent creation is not just a tree. It’s a testament to the artistry and dedication that the couture brand brings to every aspect of its craftsmanship, featuring custom-made trinkets, PVC & gold vinyl flowers and lighting that creates a play of light and shadows, all topped with the signature Dior logo and star.
The Anton Smit Urban Echoes exhibition, featuring 8 larger-than-life Easter Island-inspired sculptures, with graffiti by artist Mars, is still available to enjoy, while live entertainment on selected dates during December, will add to the festive ambience, completing a memorable day or night out.
It really is the most wonderful time of the year and Nelson Mandela Square is ready to welcome visitors who would like to shop, dine or simply unwind in this splendid space. The festive tunnel and Dior tree will add extra extraordinary points of interest, complementing the Square’s prestigious retail and lifestyle offerings superbly.
