Dried flowers have been making a comeback in recent years. In an arch or in a large graphic bouquet, the compositions have invaded the house, the commercial spaces and the scenography. With the craze for country style and neo-rurality, a new movement linked to this floral fashion is emerging. From now on, we produce our own dried flowers that we line in dedicated rooms, thus creating a neo-rustic atmosphere inspired by the pioneers called Prairy Style. Focus on this new fashion and our advice to start your floral production and design your own bouquets. As a simple bouquet, a wreath or a gorgeous installation, dried flowers have been invading the decor for a few years now. Their timelessness, their bohemian and wild side have contributed to the revival of this floral type. Very fashionable in the 1970s, a few sprigs of dried flowers were displayed in frames or glued onto lampshades. Today, there is no more question of a few florets exhibited under a bell; the bouquets must be multiple, grandiose or even arty. Florists specializing in the discipline now create veritable works that are exhibited in shops, restaurants or hotel lobbies. They become the central element of private ceremonies such as weddings and invite themselves into fashion shows. These star florists are no longer called florists but floral artists! From the United Kingdom to Japan, these experts publish dedicated books and some even have their own flower farm. With the boom in neo-rurality and home-made, the new trend in floral decoration is to make your own bouquets of dried flowers from flowers in the garden or picked during a country walk. The Barn atmosphere is in full swing and wallpapering your attic, barn or part of the wall of your house with dozens of bouquets in a floral farmhouse atmosphere is ultra trendy. Everything must be rustic and plunge us into the atmosphere of a pioneer farm! We sow, we harvest, we dry and then we compose our own bouquets. TUTO First of all, you will need to create your own flower crop if you have the possibility. If you cannot harvest, you can easily get bouquets by variety from florists. Before embarking on the creation of giant compositions of the arch or chandelier type, start by making a classic bouquet or a candlestick for the most experienced. However, be generous, the larger the bouquet, the more rewarding the result! The flowers Overall, all flowers can be dried to compose a bouquet. It's up to you to choose according to your garden, the quality of its soil and its sunshine. For those who do not have a garden, a harvest in a pot may be suitable for a small production. Some plants are more suitable for making dried bouquets, either because they are less fragile or because they are more graphic. We recommend harvesting the following plants: Yarrow Allium Cereals (wheat, barley etc.) Thistle Craspedia or drum stick Eucalyptus Grasses (bear grass, linum, pampas, canary grass, hare's tail etc.) Gypsophila Pigeon grass Hydrangea Immortals Lavender Limonium or Statice Pope or lunar coinage Poppies Peonies It's up to you to see the sowing date, the recommended maintenance and the flowering period depending on the varieties you have chosen Harvest It is important to respect the flowering periods of each variety. For example, cut lavender at the beginning of flowering before the flower dries up, while hydrangeas will be cut at the end of flowering. It is recommended to pick your plants after the dew at the end of the morning, when they are very dry. Drying Gather the same varieties of flowers in several small bouquets (about ten flowers per bouquet) then tie them with string without tightening the stems too much. Your bouquets must then be hung in a dark room, protected from humidity and sufficiently ventilated like an attic or a barn. You should hang them upside down and let them dry for about a month. For a Prairy Style look, stretch ropes between your beams and hang all your small bouquets (upside down) along the ropes. You can also plant nails all along your beams and attach the bouquets to them. If you don't have beams, you can attach a gabion grid or fixed trellis to your ceiling. Another alternative, you can stretch rows of wires along a wall and attach your bouquets to them. Composition Your flowers are ready to be assembled into a bouquet! Sort your plants by variety then remove the lower two-thirds of the leaves from the stem. Assemble the rods together according to your creative desire. Tie the bouquet with twine, cord or ribbon. To make your bouquets last longer, you can spray a little hairspray on the flowers. If you want to compose a very graphic bouquet, we advise you to combine all sizes and all shapes: tall grasses (pampa) with round flowers (pigeon grass), thistles and large flowers (hydrangea or peony) . For a softer bouquet, bet on monochromy and combine vaporous and light plants such as Pope's currency, baby's breath and hare's tails.

We are delighted to release a new opus "Iconic" under the sign of the reissue. Indeed, the Danish furniture manufacturer Hay, in collaboration with the historic manufacturer Dietiker, brought out on April 5 the Rey Collection designed by the Swiss designer Bruno Rey in 1971. The line is revised to meet current standards and enriched new colors. A very great joy because the apparent simplicity of its forms and its palette of colors enchant us. Guaranteed uccess ... The History Originally, the chair was called Model 3300 to later be known as Rey. The most famous Swiss chair of all time has sold more than one million five hundred thousand copies in fifty years, furnishing both residential spaces and communities. Made of Swiss beech wood, its particularity lies in its assembly without screws. It will be patented and produced in series from 1971 by the Swiss furniture manufacturer Dietiker. In Bruno Rey's design, the chair legs are connected to the self-supporting round seat by means of a bonded aluminum console that was still handcrafted in its early days. In 1989, the invention of aluminum die-casting then allowed the industrial production of the chair in large series. The rounded edges and the curved backrest inspired by Thonet, as confessed by Bruno Rey, mark the singularity of the design. From the outset, the chair was available in a raw or upholstered version. Rarely used on its own, it usually accompanies dining tables. Its concept will be declined in stool, bar stool and various tables (meal, pedestal table and coffee table). In 2014, the chair and the table were also produced in a junior edition. The solidity and rounded edges of these very stable models are ideal for use by children. Reedition Launched in April 2022, the collaboration between Hay and Dietiker has enabled the complete collection to be reissued, enriched with new colors and new dimensions. All models keep their initial silhouette and the screwless production process is maintained, but their dimensions have been updated to meet the demands of the contemporary lifestyle. The original color palette is retained and enriched with new tones and upholstery fabrics selected by Hay from the Danish fabric manufacturer Kvadrat. “ To me, the Rey Chair is very honest. It has a few simple components, but is put together in an innovative way that makes it very robust. It also has generous proportions, so it's both comfortable to sit on and beautiful to look at.” Rolf Hay Features The collection is available with nine finishes, from varnished wood to lacquered colours. The chairs and bar stools are available in an upholstered version with Kvadrat's Steelcut fabric. Dimensions: chait 44 x 49 x ht 80 cm stool ø 46,5 x ht 46 cm side table ø 66,5 x ht 60 cm dining table ø 128 x ht 74,5 cm Bruno Rey (1935-2019) Bruno Rey was born in 1935 in Brugg, Switzerland. After an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker, he studied at the School of Applied Arts in Zurich, where he took lessons from the pioneer designer Willy Guhl, known worldwide for his 1954 Loop Chair. he interior designer Paul Sumi worked for four years on the Intercontinental Hotel in Geneva and then became a co-founder of the Swiss Design Association. In 1968, he opened his own studio, working on the design of his famous chair for Dietiker which would make him famous. Their collaboration will extend from 1970 to 1984. At the same time, he signs models for the German Kusch+Co. hay.dk crédit photos © hay
