From engineered framework to illuminated character

Large lanterns are developed as transportable modules. Steel framework controls scale and structure, while shaping, fabric finishing and internal lighting bring each character to life.

Prepared as a complete installation system

Our production team pre-assembles and checks key components before shipment. Each structure is divided into practical modules so it can travel safely and be installed efficiently at the destination.

Protection, lifting and on-site coordination are planned as carefully as the lantern design itself.
