Holiday Decor

Chicago

1990

When Hyatt Corporation decided to create seasonal environments for the lobby of their flagship property, The Hyatt Regency Chicago, the challenge was considerable.

After all, the space itself was a soaring atrium. And whatever was done had to reflect Hyatt's flair for the innovative, the spectacular, the exciting. So of course they came to us.

What began as a shower of custom silkscreened acrylic snowflakes upon snow-capped ice islands has expanded over the years to include a complete menagerie of animated animals. Imagine huggable teddy bears parachuting overhead, winterclad penguins sliding helter skelter down a mountain side, daredevil water skiing mice, and other spectacular effects that have left children of all ages agape with delight.
