Commissions

Start a commission

I make paper flowers to order for homes, interior designers, brands and events, from a single stem for a mantelpiece to an installation that fills a shop window.

Everything is cut, dyed and painted by hand in my studio in Hertford, just north of London.

Sister by Studio Ashby
Sculptural installation · Alcova Milan · 2026

Sophie Ashby asked me for a big bouquet of paper poppies for Speak Back, Sister’s first exhibition at Alcova during Milan Design Week.

I took the colours from the rug at the heart of the room: deep reds, blues, cream and a golden yellow, all hand-painted and set in a vintage Murano glass vase.

Sister by Studio Ashby
Showroom flowers · London · 2026

Sister asked me to make paper flowers for their showroom in place of fresh ones. In July it was blue poppies along the long dining table. For the latest changeover I made burgundy cosmos in a blue glass vase and a pot of sunflowers.

Each vase holds just one kind of flower, the way you’d buy them fresh.

Dinner centrepieces · Horizon 22, London · 2026

Sixteen centrepieces, 128 flowers in all, for the firm’s partners’ dinner at Horizon 22, in their own colours: lime and navy up front, with teal, pale blue, cream, white and black.

Each one pairs paper poppies with cosmos on loose, curling stems. They arrived boxed with a styling guide, so the team could set the tables themselves and keep the flowers for next time.

On the morning I sat at the Holden Desk and made more as people arrived. I run workshops for groups too.

Private commissions
Made to order · Private homes

A bouquet of poppies for a dining table, a branch of blossom for a hallway, a single foxglove for a windowsill. Each private piece is made to order, around the person, the room and the light.

They never need water and won’t wilt, so they simply become part of the room.

Start a Commission

Tell me a little about what you have in mind: the space or the occasion, where it is, when you need it and a rough budget.

I’ll come back to you with ideas for the flowers and colours, and a price. Once you’re happy, I make everything by hand in the studio, then deliver it or install it myself.
