Cherry Blossom Tree

2024

Anodised Aluminium

A decorative metallic tree sculpture with pink flowers inside a modern multi-story building with colorful window shutters and an open courtyard.

Inspired by the Japanese reverence for the delicate beauty of cherry blossom, the 'Sakura' tree boasts thousands of laser-cut, pressed and anodised aluminium flowers on its chrome-plated bronze framework — a striking tribute to this cultural appreciation.

A walk in the park on a cruise ship is even more special with blooming trees, so one was built for the voyage on board Icon of the Seas, one of Royal Caribbean’s largest cruise ships. The 'Sakura' Cherry Blossom tree was cast in bronze in five parts. Each part, along with all the branches, were chrome-plated to achieve a highly corrosion-resistant finish.
