Founders & Team

Tina — Head Florist. Focused on craft and QC, Tina runs the apprenticeship and sampling system so scaled production still feels studio-grade.

Timeline — Since 2016

2016 — Origins

Designers by day, material nerds by night in Shenzhen; a gallery show led us to preserved flowers—real blooms, made to last.

2018 — From Trial to Method

First limited runs and weekend workshops; we imported tonal layering, negative space, and structural safety into floristry.

2020 — System & Team

We launched a 12-month apprenticeship at 80 hours/month (≥ 960 hours total), trained and assessed under the Japanese preserved-flower system.

2022 — Repeatable Quality

A 24-point QC checklist ensures studio-grade edges and reinforcement even in scaled production.

2025 — Collaboration & Global

We partnered with Kentina Studio to co-develop a global co-branded line.

How We Work: A Studio, Not a Factory

We move deliberately—slow R&D and fewer, better releases. Each piece ships with a maker’s signature and a QC record.

Apprenticeship & Evaluation

  • Duration: 12 months; Load: 80 hours/month (≥ 960 hours total).
  • Curriculum: Japanese preserved-flower standards—materials, color theory, composition, and structural reinforcement.
  • Final assessment: a timed 1:1 replication of a reference piece; both fidelity and stability must pass to earn an independent maker’s signature.

Materials & Sourcing

95% of our stems come from Ohchi Nursery / EARTH MATTERS (Japan), with <5% premium Chinese materials. We favor natural morphology and authentic tonal ranges.

What We Refuse to Do

  • No unevenly dyed, oily-glossy, cheap-looking low-grade domestic preserved heads.
  • No plastic or soap-based faux flowers in any piece.
  • No cheap adhesives; we use floral adhesives and dyes made on cosmetic-grade bases with no harsh odor.

Note: The above reflects our own material and craft standards for aesthetics and longevity. Not intended for prolonged skin contact; keep out of reach of children and pets.

QC & Structural Stability

  • 24-point QC: incoming integrity, color variance, head selection, concealed reinforcement, dust control, and transit protection.
  • Each piece includes a Maker’s Card (signature, date, batch) and a photo record.

Care & Display

  • Display indoors in a dry, shaded, ventilated space—avoid direct sun and humidity.
  • No watering; gently dust by soft brush or cool air.

Lead Time & Shipping

  • Made-to-order: To ensure the best condition, we begin crafting after your order is confirmed.
  • Production: 3–5 business days.
  • Air-parcel delivery: 5–7 business days (varies by destination and service).

Packaging & Sustainability

We use reinforced inserts and custom cartons to minimize transit damage; paper goods are selected for recyclability. We ship in small, considered batches—never at the expense of quality.

Our Promise

We only ship work we’re proud to sign. If a piece arrives damaged or below our standards, contact us—repairs or remakes are prioritized.
