collection, Wieki Somers dips
floral forms into a clear UV-
sensitive liquid resin that
hardens on exposure to light.
t then binds the delicate
petals, twigs and blossom to
a range of vases and lighting.
The objects look as if they are
captured in ice, and have a
strong Art Nouveau aesthetic.
Inspired by the surreal flora
and fauna of Lewis Carroll’s
Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland ,Danish jewellery
designer Alidra Alic has
developed her own technique,
which combines precious
metals and stones with plastic
to create a range of jewellery
with a feminine intricacy and
dipped or glazed finish.

collection of bowls cast
fromvegetables by designers
Katharina Mischer and Thomas
Traxler, who worktogether
under the Micher’Traxler
moniker.
The bowls are created withoutever entering a kiln. Instead
thedesigners pack ceramic
powder around a number of
different fruit andvegetables,
which then hardens. The
finished items bear the echoes
ofthe fruit on their insides.

Inflorescence by Gilles Belley
The Organic Factory project
by Gilles Belley explores
similarities between the
artificial and natural to create
objects with shapes and
functions manufactured from
nature. Made from
agromaterials – materials
made from agricultural waste
that are biodegradable in
water – the Inflorescence bath
bomb combines thegeometrical shape of flowers
with the aromatic scent of
cloves, releasing perfumed
oils into the water.
Aggregation by Andy Lomas
Andy Lomas creates computer-
generated images of organic
natural forms in relation to
simple mathematical rules,
crafting intricate forms
reminiscent of plant and coral-
like structures through digital
simulation.

Harvest by Asif Khan, 2010
n Harvest ,Asif Khan explores
the idea of plant life as a raw
material. Using the natural
nterlocking characteristics of
the gypsophila plant, the
shape of the chair is “grown”
by weaving, moulding and
freeze-drying. A layer of
inseed-oil resin enables the
furniture to be strong while
retaining a fragile
appearance.
Fashion in Nature by Azuma Makoto, 2010
Flower artist Azuma Makoto
explores the possibilities of
artistic self-expression
through flower arranging,
creating botanical sculptures
and “haute-couture
boutiques” that bring together
the worlds of botany and art.

Japanese culture tends to
embrace a stripped-back and
pared down modernist
aesthetic, the Neo-
Ornamentalism exhibition at
Tokyo’s Museum of
Contemporary Art celebrates
the more traditional and
ornamental arts and crafts of
Japan such as lacquer work
and intricate carving used in
the country’s art today.
