The American Swedish Institute offers a breathtaking duality: the Turnblad Mansion provides a backdrop of 1908 limestone grandeur, while the Nelson Cultural Center brings in the clean, airy lines of modern Nordic design. It’s a venue that demands florals that are as storied and artistic as the architecture itself.

When we design for ASI, our focus is on organic elegance. We love using garden-style textures to soften the mansion’s historic woodwork and bringing lush, sculptural life to the bright, minimalist galleries. Our goal is to create installations that feel like they’ve been part of the institute’s secret gardens for decades.
