A figure built to wave
Santa stands four metres tall with one arm raised in a wave, posed so the gesture reads from a distance and the face stays friendly up close. At that height he works as an entrance marker: a visitor sees the raised hand across a concourse and walks toward it. The wave arm is framed in steel that holds the pose without a visible support, so the silhouette is clean from every angle, including the low view a child has when standing at his feet for a photograph.
The gift sack as a second feature
The oversized sack sits at his side as a separate lit volume, detailed with a tied top and a soft glow that separates it from the red body. It gives the figure a second point of interest at ground level, useful for children who are looking down rather than up, and it balances the composition so Santa does not read as a flat cut-out from the side. The sack is its own lighting zone, so it can pulse gently while the body stays steady.
Warm light for a welcome
The whole figure runs in warm tones, which is what makes it feel like a welcome rather than a warning light in a busy plaza. The suit, the beard and the sack are hand-painted after the silk is stretched, because the face and the fur breaks decide whether he looks benign or blank at close range where visitors gather. The LED load stays within the 50 to 300W band by scale, and the sealed low-voltage lighting is built for -30 C to +50 C.
Erecting a four-metre figure
The frame arrives as a segment set that bolts together on site, with the base fixing sized for the local wind load and detailed in the installation drawings. Between seasons the silk cover is removed and rolled and the steel frame stores flat, so a 4 m figure takes up little room for the ten months it is not on display. The piece can be installed by our team or by your own crew following the drawings.
