Kinetic Twist Chandeliers Delight Shoppers in Las Vegas

Another Holiday Spectacular by DESIGN SOLUTIONS!

70-ft long Kinetic Twist Chandeliers create a dazzling holiday display throughout Crystals, the retail heart of CityCenter, Las Vegas. Shimmering streamers descend from the soaring ceilings and twirl gently above the crowds.

These mesmerizing kinetic sculptures are the creative genius of Stephen Stefanou, president and design director of DESIGN SOLUTIONS in Dallas Texas.

"Crystals wanted a holiday accent that spoke to all cultures" said Stefanou.
In response, Stefanou's team customed designed, engineered, and sculpted stylized peppermint sticks in metallic red and holographic silver. The peppermint streamers were mounted onto chandlier armatures that allow them to spin and intoxicate the crowds.
It is a unique holiday display that captures the imaginations of all who visit.

New York Hotels deck the halls this holiday season, among which are 12-ft tall toy soldiers created by DESIGN SOLUTIONS that stand guard at the St. Regis Hotel at 5th Avenue.

When John Jacob Astor built the St. Regis in 1904, he set out to create a hotel that would reflect the elegance and luxury of hotels in Europe. Over a hundred years later, the St. Regis, now a New York landmark, still reflects that European splendor.
