Project Details
Venue
The Galleria Mall, Al Maryah Island
Location
Abu Dhabi, UAE
Scope
Facade ribbon lighting, character installation, rigging and power
Setting
Live, trading facade

The Galleria Mall wanted its Christmas scheme to start on the outside of the building: a signature ribbon wrapping the exterior, among the largest festive ribbon installations in the region, with an oversized seated Santa figure above the entrance canopy.

A ribbon on a facade is a rigging job as much as a lighting job. Redfox fixed it structurally to a live facade, installed it at height and ran clean power to it, so it could be lit every night of the season.

The facade work sat alongside the wreaths, bows and reindeer Redfox suspended through the atrium as part of the wider Christmas installation.
