The Amanaki Thao Dien Christmas Tree

Crafted from items that seemed to have reached the end of their life cycle, Amanaki Thao Dien’s tree transforms these discarded objects into twinkling stars for the festive season. Its base is designed as a large pot—a symbol of nurturing seeds for new life. The tree carries a profound message: even when things appear to have concluded, there is always an opportunity to begin again and create new value.

The Amanaki Saigon Christmas Tree

Inspired by the wondrous beauty of the cosmos, Amanaki Saigon Boutique’s creation highlights the connection between the simple and the infinite. Familiar items—such as bread foil, cotton swabs, and used cardboard—were given new life, turning into symbols of a shimmering universe. The glowing details remind us that grand achievements are often built on small yet heartfelt and persistent contributions.

The NÚC Concept Kitchen & Bar Christmas Tree

NÚC’s tree is a testament to how beauty can arise from the familiar, the close-at-hand, and even the broken fragments of the past. Using dried orange slices, straw, and shards of broken glass, the team crafted a warm and meaningful artwork for the winter season. The tree conveys an essential truth: true beauty is not always about extravagance but lies in how we perceive and cherish the world, even in its imperfections.

The Eco Solutions Christmas Tree

Built from recycled materials, Eco Solutions’ creation symbolizes innovation and unity. Discarded paper, old ropes, and seemingly insignificant items were reborn as guiding stars, lighting the path to sustainability. Their tree is more than a decoration; it’s a call to action for the community to work together for the environment, transforming wishes for a green future into tangible efforts.

The Lins Travel Christmas Tree

Lins Travel’s tree carries a heartfelt message of sharing and environmental responsibility while opening opportunities for children to experience joy in a new way. Through a spirit of exchange, children were invited to bring unused toys and trade them for new treasures from others. This initiative not only reduces plastic waste but also teaches children practical lessons in appreciation and sharing. It’s a beautiful reminder of nurturing environmental awareness and passing kindness from one generation to the next.

The competition concluded with the sparkling eyes of participants admiring their creative works. Though these trees will only grace the holiday season, they plant seeds of new ideas and changes for a sustainable future. Amanaki is proud to be part of this journey, where every small contribution becomes part of the greater “green” picture.
