Executive creative director Gabriel Grenier at SHED in Montreal: “We wanted to challenge ourselves by creating a modern, design piece of work which would also be warm and cheerful.

“Our team of Houdini artists, motion designers, and creative directors came up with the theme of a reunion and decided to express this by experimenting with simulations and dynamics, making Christmas-related objects reunite around an iconic Christmas tree.”
