Enchanted forest
In Paris, the square of the Hôtel de Ville was transformed into an ice forest, designed by the artist Stéphane Thidet. This enchanted work consisted of huge pieces of driftwood that turned over above a frozen lake. Crystal Group put its mechanical and climatic skills at the service of the artist for the development of this installation.
