SINGAPORE ― Passengers departing from Changi Airport Terminal 3’s (T3) transit hall can now look forward to a new garden made up of glass dandelion sculptures and shop at prominent fashion luxury brand Louis Vuitton.
The opening of Louis Vuitton marks the French label’s first duplex airport store in the world, said Changi Airport Group (CAG) in a media release on Friday (Dec 15).
The transit hall's Central Piazza, includes the latest and seventh feature garden in the airport.

Called Crystal Garden, it is tiered with garden beds which includes flowering plants and 12 spheres of dandelion glass sculptures in varying sizes.
The glass sculptures which glow and create the illusion that they are “floating” on pools of water or “swaying” in a breeze, are inspired by the flora and fauna of the other gardens in the airport.

CAG’s executive vice-president of commercial Lim Peck Hoon said the Crystal Garden is “designed to engage the senses of travellers while capturing the carefree spirit of travel, as it greets travellers when they first step into T3’s Transit Hall”.
“Besides the enriched offering of luxury goods, cosmopolitan travellers can look forward to an engaging retail experience in the revolutionary two-storey Louis Vuitton boutique,” said Ms Lim.
“Without a doubt, Louis Vuitton’s definitive French charm and distinct travel heritage plays up Changi’s image as a world-class shopping destination. We are delighted to welcome Louis Vuitton to Changi Airport.”
