Flowers are one of the main things that unite us in Design 101.
The blue flower symbolizes hope and idealism, imagination and infinity, a Romantic emblem of love and striving.
“...the blue flower. It is constantly in my mind, and I can think and compose of nothing
else. I have never been in such a mood,” said Henry in Novalis’ Henry of Ofterdingen: A
Romance.
“All Fabulous Tales are merely dreams of that home world, which is everywhere and nowhere.” Novalis
And 10 nice flower paintings, in pictures.

This has been a very difficult week for me. I felt overwhelmed and tired. Even irritated. I did not have many time or even patience for Design 101. Accordingly I was forced to make choices very quickly. And mainly this is all there is to tell about documentation. I decided to use a book I like very much. This way was so much faster than internet. Because the book has all information already organized. It's illustrations are great and the information is precise and diverse. After going through it I knew I had to make a carnivorous flower!
The blue flower was found through Google search. It's a gorgeous flower. Only after I cutted the shape on pet plastic I thought about creating the lamp.
Then Rosa Montesa's shared this flower necklace on the Arena and I knew it had to be plastic. I hate plastic flowers. I think they are the ultimate expression of everything that's artificial in life. But I've been reusing materials since Design101 day one so it felt apropriate. Then I liked the challenge of working with plastic. Would I be able to create beauty from waste?
