Cris Cheng , Creative Director of Etcetera Design Pte Ltd, shared how the Eiffel Tower serves a functional purpose beyond simply looking majestic while providing a striking panoramic view; each pillar at the base actually points towards four different landmarks and places of interests in France. It is these very hallmarks that illustrate the Tower’s conception and purpose that resonate with every of Etcetera Design’s projects: speed, timelessness and iconic works.
