FOREIGN FLOWERS with India Mahdavi project room #12

On the occasion of MATTER and SHAPE, a new design salon in the heart of Paris, India Mahdavi presents the multidisciplinary exhibition FOREIGN FLOWERS curated by Dan Thawley as PROJECT ROOM #12.

Questioning the role of flora in the decorative arts, FOREIGN FLOWERS investigates the relationships of flowers and plants with the disciplines of furniture-making, fine art, craft and collectible design. Eschewing classical representations of flora, the group exhibition unites artists, designers and makers whose practice considers the beauty and danger of the natural world, depicting weeds, carnivorous plants and exotic flowers in strange and unexpected ways.

Artists and designers included — Conie Vallese, Ra Workshop, Jochen Holz, Katerina Jebb, Ben Mazey, Shannon Clegg, Orfeo Tagiuri, Nico Vascellari, Elise Gettliffe, Thomas Barger, Flaminia Veronesi.
