Dried and preserved pieces
that outlast the lease

Sculptural arrangements built from banksia, palm, grasses and preserved foliage. They hold their shape for one to three years with zero water and zero care, which makes them the cheapest flowers we sell per day.

The piece, by the numbers

LIFESPAN

1 to 3 years depending on light and humidity. South-facing rooms stretch it.

HEIGHTS

25cm desk pieces to 120cm floor totems. Custom heights for reception desks.

COST PER DAY

A $98 piece over two years costs about 13 cents a day. Fresh cannot compete on that metric.

PET NOTE

Most dried material is pet-neutral, but tell us anyway. Some preserved foliage is dyed.

05 / Questions

Dried questions

Anything else, the studio answers in about 90 seconds on the phone.

Banksia and palm go two to three years easily. Softer grasses fade around the one-year mark. Keep them out of bathrooms and direct sun.

Dried is air-dried and fully natural. Preserved is fresh material stabilised in glycerine, which keeps it soft and lets us dye it. Both go years.

That is most of the custom work. Send a photo of the corner and the height you need, we quote the build.

Perfectly, especially windowless rooms where fresh struggles. Some subscription clients mix fresh front-of-house with dried in meeting rooms.
