Appreciations towards the design labo (Satoshi Itasaka) for providing the following description:

当花朵成为生活的旁观者，会不会显得我们生活中的冲突更加荒唐可笑？您是否曾经花时间去仔细欣赏兰花的美？设计师在上高二的时候，偶然在电视中看见圣家族大教堂。教堂的设计师高迪宣称：“所有的艺术都来源于自然”。这种从自然中获取灵感的准则引导他完成了许多杰出的建筑作品，也深深的影响了设计师，带他走上设计创作的道路。另外一位对设计师的设计生涯有影响的大师是弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特。赖特认为我们应该学习自然，热爱自然并融入到自然环境之中。他称自己的作品为“有机建筑”。自然的美丽无与伦比，而自然本身则是所有人的老师，我们从中吸取养分，并应用到设计作品之中。

▼ 悬挂着的绿意，Botanical Hanger

设计师满怀着亲近大自然的愿景，但是生活在车水马龙的城市中，自然变的难以触碰。该设计希望能打破这个窘境，将美丽的花卉和绿意带到人们的日常生活当中。这一点点的绿茵可以给生活注入生机和活力。通过欣赏花卉，人们可以舒缓神经并平和心态，以应对生活的繁重。在这个充满对资源和领土竞争和因信仰问题引发各种冲突的世界里，它带给我们希望和更多的可能性。

▼设计将美丽的花卉和绿植给生活注入生机和活力，“Botanical Hanger”, was born of the wish to bring something floral and green into the everyday.

A flower can completely entrance the beholder, and make conflict and aggression seem mere folly. Have you ever taken the time to truly appreciate the beauty of an orchid? It was seeing Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia on television when I was in my second year of high school that set me on the path toward becoming a creator. “Nothing is art if it does not come from nature”, Gaudi declared, and drawing inspiration from the natural world, he brought numerous masterpieces to life.

Another major figure for me in my journey was the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who used the term “organic architecture” to describe his own work. “Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature”, he said. So “nature” itself was, in effect, grand master and teacher to my own masters and teachers. The beauty of nature cannot be equalled.

For me, the desire to be close to nature is ever-present, but in modern society contact with the natural world tends to be rather limited. In confronting that reality, this work, “Botanical Hanger”, was born of the wish to bring something floral and green into the everyday.

The mere presence of greenery in your life is affirming and replenishing. The act of admiring a flower has a soothing effect on the mind, and helps you to look out at the world from a calmer perspective. In a world of so much frenzied competition for resources and territory, and conflicts arising out of different belief systems, it gives us hope that there might be another approach.
