Fashioned from Nature

V&A Museum — Fashioned from Nature

The Victoria and Albert Museum commissioned us two years ahead of opening for their 2019 Fashioned from Nature exhibition. The terrariums sat at the top of the main Fashion Gallery staircase, framing Emma Watson's 2016 Met Gala dress made from recycled plastic bottles. The challenge was that they had to live in the gallery for well over a year without natural light, so we worked with the V&A's lighting technicians to fit LED bulbs into the corks of each vessel, delivering the exact wavelengths the plants needed to thrive.
