The theme window is adorned with 200 suspended crystal leaves, a miniature version of the “Dancing Leaves” crystal leaf chandelier in The Peninsula Paris lobby. The chandelier in the hotel lobby draws inspiration from the tree-shaded greenery outside Avenue Kléber, consisting of 800 handcrafted crystal leaves. It was designed and produced by the renowned Czech glass manufacturer Lasvit and is the longest and most complex project in the company’s history.

Mr. Ricky Cheng, Vice President of Marketing at The Peninsula Hotels, said: “This is the first time our group has incorporated window displays into our marketing strategy. Through this innovative and interactive approach, we aim to introduce the craftsmanship and grandeur of the newly opened The Peninsula Paris to the public. The handcrafted crystal leaf decorations in the window are a miniature version of the ‘Dancing Leaves’ chandelier in the hotel lobby and also one of the thematic elements that run throughout the hotel’s interior design.” He added: “The Peninsula Paris is our group’s first project in Europe. Our current mission is to promote and elevate the hotel’s visibility across Europe. Of course, we also hope to attract Harrods customers to visit The Peninsula Paris through this stay promotion. London is a premier shopping destination, and Paris is a global luxury shopping capital, home to high-end brands, quaint boutiques, and specialty shops. Shopping in the City of Light is truly a dream for many!”
