'Wrap It Up! A Christmas Atelier at LANDMARK curated by Sarah Andelman'

Celebrate the Art of Gifting with Sarah Andelman's First Large-Scale Installation in Asia Featuring Collaborations with 10 Renowned International Artists

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 16 December 2024 - This holiday season, LANDMARK invites Hong Kong to an exceptional celebration of the art of gifting. In collaboration with world-renowned cultural curator Sarah Andelman, "Wrap It Up! A Christmas Atelier at LANDMARK" marks her first large-scale installation in Asia. Inspired by Sarah's discerning global perspective, LANDMARK will be transformed into an enchanting ribbon-filled wonderland, breathing new life into the cherished tradition of gift wrapping in an immersive and unique manner. Beginning on 21 November, clients are invited to explore this festive atelier, discovering the true allure of gifting and the joy of turning each present into a thoughtful, heartfelt treasure.

Curated by Sarah Andelman—the cultural connoisseur known for her refined taste and innovative contributions to contemporary retail as the visionary behind Just An Idea and legendary Parisian concept store, Colette—LANDMARK proudly collaborates with ten internationally celebrated artists: Ceizer, Fenwan Chen, Forlee Bean, FriendsWithYou, Gabriela Noelle, Kasing Lung, Katerina Jebb, Mr.A, Nina Chanel Abney and Ribbonesia.

This illustrious alliance comes together to reimagine the very essence of gift wrapping, creating a series of meticulously designed experience zones, along with exclusive designer ribbon collections, and limited-edition collectibles, all curated for discerning LANDMARK customers. All visual elements and graphic design for this project have been crafted by the Parisian creative studio Faye and Gina, under Sarah Andelman's artistic direction.

In Sarah's words, "Collaborating with LANDMARK for my first large-scale installation in Asia was natural, as it stands out as a distinctive global destination in the dynamic heart of Hong Kong. The energy of this space aligns beautifully with my vision, offering a vibrant canvas for creativity and artistic expression. Together, we rekindle the joy of thoughtful gifting and create a magical experience that resonates with both locals and visitors alike."


The Christmas Atelier Experience

Blending physical and digital elements, Sarah and the 10 artists have conjured 12 dynamic experience zones on stage, along with 6 more offstage experiences within LANDMARK ATRIUM. Guests will embark on a journey to explore the art of gifting in this immersive ribbon installation.

They'll find delightful ribbon-themed games and interactive wonders, along with a range of personalised experiences onstage. Guests can design and print their own ribbons, and transform cheerful snapshots into custom postcards to share this joyful experience with someone special. Those who secure a spot in the exclusive Ribbonesia Workshop will have the opportunity to add personal touches to the hand-crafted ribbon ornaments by Japanese ribbon master Ribbonesia, bringing home a one-of-a-kind festive keepsake.

The popular character 'Zimomo' by Kasing Lung makes a grand entrance at the 'Wrap It Up!' installation at LANDMARK with an awe-inspiring, 2.5-metre-tall Christmas display, destined to be the holiday photo spot. Numerous stunning installations will also be unveiled throughout LANDMARK ATRIUM, both onstage and off. Whether posing with the giant pink cushion compact at The Beauty Spot, enjoying the Ribbon Dreams Swing or exploring the Ribbon Wonderland filled with Ribbonesia's beautiful masterpieces, participants are guaranteed a picture-perfect moment. These unforgettable photo opportunities are sure to leave you with cherished memories that will sparkle long after the holiday season.

Mr. Alexander Li, Director and Head of Retail, Hong Kong & Macau, Hongkong Land Limited, says: "We are thrilled to be able to bring world-class visionaries such as Sarah Andelman to LANDMARK and Hong Kong – it demonstrates the continued attraction of this city as a globally recognised destination. This holiday season we invite clients to take the opportunity to immerse themselves in the essence and beauty of the art of gifting, from design to production, selection and purchase. Through our Atelier, we hope clients can use ribbons and wraps to add their own final and special touch for somebody they love."
