Step Into the Sparkle at Santa’s Studio
Designed by Wonder, Santa's Studio is a contemporary winter wonderland, at once nostalgic and modern. A cloud-like sofa rests among playful snowballs, sculptural snowmen and leather Christmas tree. At the centre, Santa appears in a custom designed suit by Kylie Cooke, bringing a refined twist to tradition.
