There is a calm atmosphere of waiting for the holidays.
This year, the Kaunas fir and the entire Town Hall square are decorated with sweets reminiscent of sweets. They are made of environmentally friendly and non-toxic material: isolone. Fir tree is promised to look impressive not only in the dark or in the dark, but also during the day.
“You look at the sky and you see clouds that remind you of something. It is a lamb, a heart or a cotton ball, or finally a cake. The idea was to lower these clouds closer to the ground. Walking among these clouds, among dreams, in quiet waiting and hope, we are looking forward to a beautiful Christmas, ”said artist Jolanta Šmidtienė, who has been decorating the Kaunas Christmas tree for 12 years in a row.
The spruce, made up of separate branches, is mounted on the same metal frame that was used last year to decorate the stunningly beautiful “space” spruce.
This year, the fir tree seems a bit taller, as its crown is not decorated with a traditional star, but with an element reminiscent of an ancient 3-meter-high dome. Therefore, the total height of the main Kaunas spruce is about 25 meters.
Not only the Christmas tree itself, but also the town hall and the square itself were full of festive colors. Hundreds of bulbs are installed in the trees, and the facades of the buildings are decorated and illuminated to create a unique atmosphere in anticipation of the holidays.
Like last year, this year it is also possible to enter the interior of the Kaunas Christmas tree. There a surprise awaits: a model of a city built with sugar. According to the author of the idea, J. Šmidtienė, residents of Kaunas will be able to recognize the models, architectural and urban elements of the famous urban buildings made of sugar cubes.
Speaking about the concept of decorating the Christmas tree and the Town Hall Square, the author of the idea stressed that this year the cacophony of colors and noises is being abandoned, as if it were going back to childhood.
“We create a calm environment to wait for Christmas. Not that Hollywood, normal for us, sonorous and colorful. It is more a state of mind of concentration, waiting and hope,” said J. Šmidtienė.
Last year he asked for a Christmas space
In 2019, the main accent for Kaunas Spruce became multi-colored plastic decorations created by the team of artist J. Šmidtienė. This urban fir is a kind of 2018. The transformation of the city tree that adorned the town hall square. The plastic straws that adorned it were recycled and used to create cosmic decorations.
Multicolored figures made of recycled plastic have become the main accent of the fir tree. About 3 kilometers of illuminated garlands were used to illuminate only the town hall square. For the author of the idea, J. Šmidtienė, this was the 10th Christmas tree, which his team decorated in Kaunas. This time, the creator mentioned abstractions that allow people’s imagination to manifest.
“I wanted everyone to see in their own way, not to present a ‘chew’ product, which was specifically a bunny or a bear. Remember, you can look deeper, imagine. For some here, corals, for others, cosmic objects, ”said J. Šmidtienė.
