Shannon Clegg is an artist, designer, and educator from Cape Town, South Africa, currently based in London, United Kingdom. In her series ‘Bouquet’, she utilizes dried flowers as the medium for incredible biophilic sculptural vessels, smartly modeling them through compression.
The work led me to create a ‘self-assemble’ glass side-table with DIY flower pressing kit. The product allowed the user to go out to nature, collect and press flowers, and then arrange them for display within their home inside the glass table… The act of slowing down, observing plants, and then collecting them to bring back home to display — for me it’s the essence of biophilic experience through an object.
