Inspired by the ritual of pressing flowers between stories, Botanique is a stemware collection celebrating the transitional period when a conversation starts to bloom. The collection turns your tablescape into a visual poetry, a garden where words blossom and form bouquets.
THE ATMOSPHERE
Ikebana, perfume bottles, spilt nail polish.
The girls have gathered in their favorite pajama, a glass of wine in hand, to share stories and plan trips that have a 73.45% chance of happening.
THE BLOOMING
Inspired by a flower's lifecycle - budding, flowering, seeding - Botanique explores conversations as something living.
THE SKETCHES
I explored silhouettes inspired by stages of a flower’s lifecycle, looking for forms that could feel related as a collection without becoming identical.
THE ORTHOGRAPHIC
Selected the silhouettes that resonated the most with the three stages and drew orthographic views of the same with a 2D rendered perspective view to capture the surface design.
THE TASTING
The digitization of handcrafted wine using p5.js, photoshop, and generative ai.
[P.S. Dove down a rabbit hole for this, and then took artistic liberties. If you find discrepancies, you didn't.]

THE BOTTLE
I developed bottle and label concepts to pair with each piece of stemware, extending the collection into a more complete brand and tablescape experience.
THE BLOOMS
Modeled and rendered using Blender, and then refined using generative technology.
THE GARDEN
I used generative technology to place the stemware in a contextual setting, that is, surrounded by objects grounded by the earth and nature. Just like in a garden.
