A frosty Christmas comes to the Printemps department store
‘Northern Fairytale’ was the theme chosen by the Printemps department stores to celebrate Christmas. In their search for innovative activities and scenery related to the Far North, Printemps turned to ice and cold expert, Crystal Group. The ‘frozen’ concept suggested by our teams was unanimously approved. A frosty labyrinth and an igloo settled on the department store’s panoramic terrace for a captivating journey through ice. The frosted shop also became the very first ice shop. It was installed in the auditorium of Printemps de la Mode, which was transformed into a Christmas shop. Vivid ice creations were staged between walls of frost. These sculptures can be created to illuminate party tables or even unusual gift ideas!
