Designer Xmas Tree exhibition at the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild from 2nd – 7th December 2011

An annual event, but unfortunately no longer free, this exhibition showcases the good old Xmas tree as reintepreted by some of the biggest names in design, architecture and fashion. And of course, it’s for charidee…Each year, a number of famous creative types are asked to donate a Xmas tree, or rather their radical interpretation of a Xmas tree, often with surprising/unfathomable results.

This year, the ‘trees’ will be on show at the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild (ici, and – no – it isn’t actually a hotel) from 10am – 7pm from 2nd-7th December (admission 8€ / free for under 12s). Then they will be auctioned off during a gala dinner, with all profits going to a cancer charity.So who’s contributing this year? Here’s the list…The organisers also have a short but sweet Facebook page here that you might like to check out.And for the French speakers among you, here’s a quick video report on last year’s event!
