Dreamlight Hotel at The Tokyo Edition
This year, The Tokyo Edition hotels in Toranomon and Ginza are celebrating the season with Dreamlight Hotel, a pair of show-stopping festive tree installations dreamed up by acclaimed art director Yuni Yoshida and next-generation design brand 130 (OneThirty), known for 3D printing with renewable materials.
Playing on the theme of ‘a hotel within a hotel’, the work features miniature glowing guestrooms stacked to form the shape of a tree. Every detail is carefully considered: the windows are artfully arranged to resemble rows of illuminations, while tiny touches – like a cat in the window and Santa’s sleigh perched on the roof – add to its charm.
The two trees share the same concept but each one has subtle, hotel-specific differences that make it even more fun to compare them in person. The tree at Toranomon will be on display until January 4, while the Ginza version can be seen until December 25. As in previous years, sustainability is at the forefront of the project. The tree’s PETG, recycled PET and resin materials contain about 20 percent pre-recycled content. After the display is dismantled, the remaining 80 percent will be shredded and fully recycled.
Additionally, those visiting The Tokyo Edition, Toranomon can also enjoy a very special Dreamlight Hotel Afternoon Tea made in collaboration with Yuni Yoshida. The afternoon tea is available until January 20 and reservations can be made online.
