Peony Collection
Our peony branch and seed collections are inspired by pieces collected at Peony’s Envy, one of the largest peony gardens anywhere in the world, which happens to be owned by one of our dearest friends. The linear form of the branch collection is textured by natural botanic irregularities, and the faces of the circular seeds act as facets that catch and throw light. Peonies are some of the best-loved blossoms in the world, but we think there's a special kind of beauty in the seeds they come from, and the branches that hold them up.
The largest public peony garden anywhere in the world happens to be near our hometown – in the backyard of one of our dearest friends. Her entire home is surrounded by thousands of peonies – red, orange, coral, yellow, white, blush pink, dark pink, and pale pink – all in the dappled shade of towering oaks. Her gardens are the inspiration for this collection. And they’re also where we picked the branches, seeds, petals, and buds to create these castings. The peony is the organic form we’ve worked with most extensively, and we love that our collection contains elements of peony at so many stages of life, from seed to bud, to petal, to branch, and back again.
