Nordiska Kompaniet / Christmas Machine

Every Christmas, the Swedish department store Nordiska Kompaniet unveils its annual window display exhibition on Hamngatan in Stockholm. This beloved tradition draws crowds eager to experience the festive reveal.

Insight: The annual unveiling is often considered the official start of Christmas in the city — so naturally, a Christmas machine must be hidden somewhere beneath the department store, waiting each year for the date it is activated.

Concept development, and art direction.
