The Opposite House Beijing in conjunction with Viessmann Heating Technology presented an innovative and sculptural Christmas tree designed by Andreas Tank. On display from 4 December 2011 to 9 January 2012, the “solar tree” was constructed out of 105 reclaimed solar thermal vacuum tubes used to harness the energy of the sun. The Christmas tree was nearly 6 metres in height and 4 metres wide at its base.

The tree was lit with energy efficient warm-white LED bulbs for a modern look.
