Our approach
The facade of Rinascente, measuring 74 meters wide and 25 meters high, was equipped with 171,000 programmable LEDs. This vast RGB LED canvas allowed us to broadcast Chanel’s branded Christmas content. The LED lights were programmed through the Twinkly App tailored Chanel N°5 perfume animations, enhancing both the festive atmosphere and Chanel's brand visibility.
The results
This collaboration not only highlights Rinascente’s innovative use of decorative lighting but also demonstrates the business value Twinkly Pro installations as an effective and alternative Marketing platform. The positive feedback from both Rinascente and Chanel underscored the project's success, showcasing the power of combining high-quality illumination with luxury branding.
