Pavilion is ode to Chinese lanterns

At the World Expo in Shanghai, one building has swiftly become the most photographed- and, unsurprisingly for us, it is the Taiwan Pavilion, stunning constructed to look like one of our Chinese lanterns. The beauty does not stop with the structure, oh no. Inside the Pavilion resides the main focal point and central piece of the structure, a huge globe made up of millions of LED light, which rotates inside a glass cube. Not only this, but visitors to the building can, from a stage constructed under the globe, release digital Chinese lanterns, which then can be seen to “float” over the surface of the globe until they disappear from sight. The curator of the Taiwan Pavilion, Walter Yeh, said that the ancient Chinese tradition of releasing lanterns for good luck is one well-preserved in Taiwan, and this was something that the designers wanted to explore and celebrate as part of the project.
We’re not quite at the stage of digitalising our products, and have no need to, as our customers are delighted with the paper Chinese lanterns that we provide them for a number of special occasions. If you have any questions about any of our lanterns or our service, please do get in touch and one of our team will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
