FAUX FLORA DISCOVERY SET

Faux Flora is a sensorial display of a plant’s life cycle displayed through human milestones, exhibited and premiered at the National Nordic Museum. The plant life cycle—germination, growth, flowering, seed formation, and seed dispersal—is thus superimposed on the life cycle of a human–birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and death. Faux Flora springs from universal experiences, creating mythical flowers that are otherworldly yet familiar. Each are hand-crafted and hand-poured in Iceland and accompanied by limited edition cards that feature works of art by Co-Founder and Creative Director Ingibjörg Birgisdottir and scented poems that transport you through the scent.
