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. Without a doubt, Louis Vuitton\u2019s definitive French charm and distinct travel heritage plays up Changi\u2019s image as a world-class shopping destination. We are delighted to welcome Louis Vuitton to Changi Airport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Specially conceptualised for the Central Piazza, the Crystal Garden is the seventh feature garden at Changi Airport. It comprises 1,735 Bohemian glass components hand blown with different finishes, giving the sculpture richness and texture. Embracing the philosophy that nature soothes, the Crystal Garden gently integrates nature into the Central Piazza, presenting travellers with an interesting juxtaposition of poetic calm amidst a burst of colour and activity. The seeds of the dandelions floating across the Crystal Garden represent passengers on their onward journeys, spreading out to different corners of the world, as seeds would travel.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the Louis Vuitton duplex store, the Central Piazza also offers a new open lounge with plush seating and soft lighting, a dedicated working area and individual charging points, all carefully designed to enhance the T3 experience for all travellers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See more from Changi Airport\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.changiairport.com\/corporate.html\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Passengers at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3\u2019s Transit Hall will be welcomed by the refurbished Central Piazza, featuring the airport\u2019s latest feature garden made up [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":28450,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[69,144,702,5522],"class_list":["post-28447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","tag-duty-free","tag-louis-vuitton","tag-singapore-changi","tag-t3"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
