Flower Collection by Louise Olsen for Dinosaur Designs.

Tiny seed stems and sculptural petal forms inspire the beauty of Flower, the latest solo collection from Louise Olsen, Creative Director of Dinosaur Designs. Olsen explores both the essence and the abstract nature of flowers. Floral forms have been reinterpreted and designed as wearable pieces for the body and stunning objects for the home. A garden of wild orchids, roses and lilies form the bold yet delicate collection of petal-inspired bangles, rings, earrings, pendants and necklaces – bangles that turn your arm into a stem bursting with petals.

The collection features elegant hairpins in a soft creamy hues and deep blues, designed to arrange hair beautifully. In the homewares collection, large petal forms come together to create a field of flowers, in pieces ranging from servers to flower-like plates. The vases resemble blossoming flowers, long and delicate in shape. Bold opaques mix with glowing transparent pastel peach and green, and the warm purple swirl applied to the Flower plates evokes the incredible spot-like markings of an orchid.

“This collection is about the sculptural forms of flowers, the unexpected nature of nature. It plays on that sense of wonderment that flowers gives us through their form, colour and scent,” says Olsen of her latest designs.
