For an event at the Noguchi Museum honoring a designer whose work centered on line, we created a series of traditional ikebana arrangements in collaboration with Erin Design. The museum's architecture and Japanese sensibility called for compositions that felt grounded in tradition rather than departure. Working with branches and leaves, each of the five arrangements was built around line and movement, responding to the honored designer's practice through botanical form. With more creative freedom on this project, we leaned fully into ikebana principles, letting each arrangement stand on its own as an individual composition rather than in pairs. Sitting as centerpieces across the dining tables, the pieces carried a stillness and structural clarity that felt at home within the Noguchi Museum's quiet, sculptural space.
