Leaf Lab: From Memory to Light - Botanical Lampshade Design Workshop
Advertisement
Plants are silent witnesses of our lives. They mark places, seasons, celebrations, and personal stories.
How can nature become both art and design? In this hands-on workshop, participants create a unique botanical composition using dried flowers, leaves, and other natural materials. Guided by the Viaplant team, these botanical fragments are arranged into a personal pattern that will later be transformed into a handcrafted lamp.
In the frameworks of the Brussels Design Week, the workshop explores the intersection of nature, storytelling, sustainability, and contemporary design. Each participant creates a unique design while discovering how plants can preserve memories and become part of everyday objects.
