Botanicals as Art from Japan’s Studio Note

March 7, 2013

Delicate sprigs of greenery become artwork when pressed between two sheets of Plexiglas. We're currently coveting Japanese designer Norihiko Terayama's one-of-a-kind dried-flower rulers.

Each of the g,a,r,d,e,n and f,l,o,w,e,r,s rulers Mr. Terayama designed for his Studio Note line has a stem or blossom encased in clear acrylic at 1-centimeter intervals. Each dried flower is placed by hand, in a manner at once precise and idiosyncratic. Quick, find us something to measure:
