About pressed flowers at Pressflower Studio Japan

At Pressflower Studio Japan, we make flowers and plants into a special form called pressed flowers. By valuing the natural colors and changes without coloring, we want to express the natural beauty and the flow of time. Through completely manual work and designs that focus on color and arrangement, we bring out the natural beauty to the fullest.

The special form of a "pressed flower" is proof that we shared time with the plant

We preserve the time of the plant in the form of a "pressed flower". It is proof that we shared a moment with the growth of the plant. We carve that shared time into a pressed flower and finish it into a work of art. Plants remember past experiences. Please listen carefully to the memories of the plants engraved in the work.

Plants and our future

Plants are important to our lives. They are also our companions who continue to grow together. Plants and us have a strong connection that has lived together throughout the history of the earth. We hope that the time and experiences we share with plants will have a positive impact on our own growth and adaptation to the environment. We hope that you will become more interested in plants through "pressed flowers".

PRESSED-FLOWER and PRESSFLOWER

Pressed flowers are generally called "PRESSED-FLOWER", but we use the expression "PRESSFLOWER".
While "PRESSED-FLOWER" implies a past action, we wanted to convey that "PRESSFLOWER" is an ongoing process. By turning fresh flowers into art pieces that preserve their appearance, we represent the beauty of nature and the time we shared, and the passage of time that makes us cherish both the future and the past. Please feel the continuing flow of time through "PRESSFLOWER".
