Custom Lanterns, Built to Your Brief
Custom lanterns are our core work: pieces that do not exist in any catalogue until you describe them. Every project starts with a brief, moves through custom lantern design and custom lantern fabrication in our own factory, and ends as a landmark your visitors photograph.

Added 2025-11-28View specs →Scaling a build for a particular kind of site? The brief shifts with the venue. Our venue guides cover how scale, routing and planting constraints change the specification: see botanical garden light shows or the zoo lantern festival guide. For a park where rides and guest routes are already fixed, lantern installations for theme parks covers how the layout is planned around them.
Before you brief us, two pieces of reading answer the questions buyers ask most. Our custom lantern pricing guide sets out the four inputs that drive cost and the budget lines people forget, and from steel frame to opening night walks the six build stages every commission passes through.

View project →Custom display questions
We have built landmarks up to 25 m tall. Each scale requires its own structural engineering calculation for wind load, base anchoring and lift points. We provide a load calculation report with every installation.
Yes. Giant landmarks include integrated lifting points and we coordinate crane logistics as part of our on-site installation service. For international projects, we work with local crane contractors under our supervision.
Absolutely. We frequently build custom character landmarks from client mascots, city symbols or cultural icons. Our design team will produce concept art and structural renders for your approval.
Giant landmarks are engineered to 10 Beaufort (24.5-28.4 m/s) as standard, with base anchoring designed for the specific site. Higher ratings are available for exposed or coastal locations.
