Coburg Christmas Tree at Osborne 2023

Osborne on the Isle of Wight is the beloved seaside home of Queen Victoria, and this year will be host to a spectacular contemporary installation, and reimagining of the Christmas tree. The ‘Freedom’ tree is made from a series of metal poles which suspend 200 ornately folded white paper origami birds, each engraved in silver with the initials ‘V&A’. It will be on display at Osborne until 7 January 2024. The work, designed by Anna Hünnerkopf, was originally made to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s birth. It is intended to encourage people to have a moment of peaceful reflection during the busy Christmas period.

This is a beautiful piece of art, but i wish it would be able to turn on itself with all the birds flapping their wings as a giant automaton... ❤

Prince Albert was such an innovative man with a modern sensibility for that time. I think it suits Osborne well.

It is beautiful the origami birds is a wounderful idea

[@macsmiffy2197]

So beautiful! I’d love a smaller version for my home. I’m off to search for origami channels. ❤

[@kennedie7031]

What is the rationale for it being called the 'Freedom' tree? Happy Holidays.

[@Ater_Draco]

It's meant to give the viewer a focus to enjoy some peace and contemplation, freeing their mind and body from the frenetic modern Christmas season

[@lerickho2105]

Amazing! When will this be displayed until at Osborne?
