Estancia unveils candy-inspired Christmas installations’ Sweet Illusions

by - November 28, 2018



Last Christmas 2017, Ortigas & Company awed shoppers of Estancia with its award-winning Christmas installation Vast Imaginarium which was inspired by famous contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms––a four-room art installation that served as a magical journey for the imagination. This installation bagged two Silver Stevie Award for Marketing Campaign of the Year - Retail and Brand Experience of the Year - Consumer for helping cement Estancia’s reputation as a lifestyle space that promotes the arts.



For this year they are returning with a brand-new theme to give holiday revelers a pleasant surprise. Officially unveiled last November 12, Ortigas & Company put together another Christmas must-see dubbed as Sweet Illusion Chambers in line with the company’s candy land theme this year.


The Sweet Illusion Chambers are delectable rooms with light installations that bring to mind the candies and desserts that everybody craves for, especially during the holiday season. These are Instagram-worthy and interactive rooms are open during mall hours and will run until January 6, 2019.


The four secret rooms are strategically placed across Capitol Commons––at the mall and the park––with each beholding a fun surprise for those who venture inside.

For those who wish to see a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the Tutti Frutti or Rainbow Prism Room awaits at the Capitol Commons Park. And inside Estancia, if you’re in search of a sweet thrill, the Sugar Rush at the Laser Room promises a feeling a rush quicker than a ray of light. And for those who prefer a sweet escape, the Candy Blast at the Shadow Light Room offers a delightful haven that transports you to a candy dreamland. Lastly, if you’re into tasting the dark side, Special Dark at the Dark Light Room beckons another captivating exhibit of modern neon displays.







“Ortigas & Company has always valued providing accessible art to the public, through Estancia’s Vast Imaginarium rooms as well as this year’s Ortigas Art Festival; We want to continue this effort for the holidays, so we are bringing back our renowned rooms now called Sweet Illusion Chambers. Estancia has become Ortigas’ art hub that fosters creativity in the middle of the metro, and what better way to celebrate that than to launch it this season,” says Arch. Renee C. Bacani, VP of Ortigas & Company.

Aside from Sweet Illusions Chambers, Estancia also has a lot in store for shoppers this holiday season. A Keto Workshop will be held from November 30 to December 2 at the ground floor South Wing entrance from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. True to the spirit of celebrating, the Holiday Feasts with treats, in partnership with Mastercard, will run from November 15 to January 15, 2019 at participating restaurants for families and friends alike.
