Where Nature Meets Intention

We've spent twelve years learning that the most beautiful spaces aren't just decorated—they're thoughtfully cultivated to reflect the people who live and work in them.

How We Started Listening to Spaces

Back in 2013, I was designing arrangements that looked perfect in magazines but felt completely wrong in real homes. One client called me after a dinner party to say her guests kept asking why the flowers seemed so "serious" in her cheerful kitchen. That conversation changed everything for me.

We began approaching each project like a conversation—first listening to how a space wants to be used, who gathers there, what kind of energy feels right. Some clients need arrangements that can handle the chaos of family dinners. Others want something that helps their meditation corner feel more grounded. The flowers are just the beginning of that story.

"Every room has its own personality. Our job isn't to impose our style—it's to help that personality bloom through carefully chosen botanical elements."

— Caledonia Thorne-Vescovi, Founder

What We've Learned About Living Spaces

After working with over 400 clients across Indonesia, we've discovered that the best floral designs aren't just beautiful—they're functional partners in daily life.

Seasonal Intelligence

We work with Indonesia's natural rhythms, sourcing from local growers who understand our climate. Your arrangements change with the seasons because that's how real gardens work—and it keeps your spaces feeling alive rather than static.

Maintenance Realism

Not everyone has time for daily flower care, and that's perfectly fine. We design arrangements based on your actual schedule—whether you love the ritual of daily tending or need something that looks great for two weeks with minimal attention.

Cultural Integration

Indonesian homes often blend traditional and modern elements. We've learned to create botanical designs that honor both—arrangements that feel at home next to family heirlooms and contemporary furniture alike.

The People Behind Your Arrangements

We're a small team, which means you'll actually get to know the people designing for your space. Here's who you'll be working with:

Founder & Creative Director

Caledonia started this company after realizing that most floral design ignored how people actually live in their spaces. She spent three years studying traditional Indonesian botanical practices and now combines those techniques with contemporary interior design principles. When she's not arranging flowers, she's usually testing new preservation methods in her home studio.

Senior Botanical Designer

Quinlan joined us in 2019 with a background in sustainable agriculture and an eye for how plants behave in different lighting conditions. He's the one who figured out our signature preservation technique that keeps arrangements looking fresh longer. Clients often request him specifically for challenging spaces like low-light offices or high-humidity bathrooms.

Collaborative Approach

Every project involves our full team because we've found that the best solutions come from different perspectives. Caledonia handles the initial space assessment, Quinlan manages botanical selection and sourcing, and our installation team ensures everything works perfectly in your actual environment. We stay involved through the first month to make adjustments as needed.
