The Upper House x Victoria Tang-Owen Christmas Tree “A Handmade Christmas”
Each festive season over the last five years, The Upper House has commissioned leading architecture and design studios to create a bespoke Christmas tree with sustainability at its core. For 2021, multidisciplinary creative design firm Victoria Tang Studio presents a unique East-meets-West concept that draws on Chinese heritage and traditionally Western Christmas foliage to create a sustainable, culturally diverse Christmas Tree.
Inspired by classic East Asian folding screens and Chinese craftsmanship, “A Handmade Christmas” tree is composed of triangular panels that reinterpret the traditional Christmas tree shape in a modern context. Each panel is embellished with a refined Chinese hand embroidery technique that draws on a 2,000-year-old artisanal “Dragon’s Robe” design that was once used for the Emperor and incorporates a distinctive “hand-twisted” gold thread. This embroidery technique is used to create motifs of popular Western Christmas iconography of Pine Leaves, Winterberry, Holly, and Pinecones across the tree. The final touch is soft, atmospheric lighting that brings out the tree’s craftsmanship and radiates the House’s festive light and warmth to welcome guests for the season.
In keeping with The Upper House’s annual tradition and the spirit of giving, the one-of-a-kind tree will be raffled for charity, with all proceeds benefitting the Hong Kong Down Syndrome Association.
The Upper House Festive Hamper
The Upper House launches its first-ever Festive Hamper, curated by Salisterra and The Continental. Presented in a sustainable wooden box, the hamper features a handpicked selection of festive delights including Gravadlax, Iberico Ham, Goose Liver FG Pâté, Truffle Trove Cheese, a Mulled Wine Kit, Chocolate Chunks and more. Each hamper includes a complement of Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve, Saicho Sparkling Tea or Seedlip with an option for a Dom Pérignon 2010 and Nomad Caviar upgrade. Priced from HK$2,998 with an early-bird price of HK$2,698 for purchases before 30 November 2021.
Christmas House Market
The popular House Market returns to The Lawn and Sky Lounge in a festive guise on 4 and 5 December, offering a treasure trove of festive gifts and treats. The House Christmas Market brings together a collection of homegrown brands specialising in locally made products, including kids’ clothes, fragrances, jewellery, artisanal culinary products, and more. The market will also host a Christmas wreath-making workshop, activities for the little ones, and The Upper House Food Station which will serve mulled wine and seasonal snacks like Wagyu Meatballs, Apple Tart, and Cranberry Basque Burnt Cheesecake. As part of The Upper House's ongoing commitment to its community partners, 10% of profits from the Christmas House Market will be donated to Hong Kong Down Syndrome Association.
