kengo kuma's wooden christmas tree sculptures illuminate EDITION hotels in tokyo
Briefly

Kengo Kuma's Christmas tree sculptures exemplify a harmonious blend of festive tradition and sustainability, using locally sourced materials that transform post-holiday into functional art.
The installation at Ginza, the Kigumi tree, is a jewel-like structure that reflects both traditional aesthetics and modern innovation, showcasing six distinct wood species.
In Toranomon, the Komorebi tree uses underutilized woods that minimize waste while representing a vibrant forest, launching a conversation about recycling and sustainability.
Kengo Kuma views the Christmas tree as a vision for future architecture and design, where elements are crafted to endure beyond their initial purpose.
