What makes a Christmas tree truly iconic? It’s often a mix of things – the setting, the design (especially when it dares to do something different), and the people or stories it’s tied to. Sometimes, it’s all of the above.
The most memorable Christmas trees are the ones that don’t chase trends but create their own. They have a sense of character and timelessness that quietly influences how we decorate our own trees at home, however modest in scale. That’s certainly true of the trees we’ve gathered here, from all corners of the world – from Galeries Lafayette to Rio de Janeiro.
