Beyond the petal
Fruit & Flowers
A landscape of fresh spring-like flowers using contrasting colours of purple and green to
provide an impact. Muscari, anemome, hyacinth and gildea rose areplaced in delicate
glass vases of varying sizes but similar shape, the apples adding depth to the installation,
mirroring the shape of the vases. This is a contemporary look – modern and vibrant.

Birds & Bees
What better way to florally interpret spring than with a nest of
woven twigs and delicate forsythia blooms, filled with potted
bulb plants ‘tete a tete’, or scented narcissus upon which tiny
spring birds have come to nestle in a natural spring story. Use on
a big or small scale as a table centrepiece or to tell a beautiful
story of the outside coming in.

Rubelli’s multicoloured large print derives
from a contemporary artwork painted in
watercolour. Printed on compact satin with
technologically advanced ‘added
movement’, the surface has an irregular
relief that turns the digitally printed
watercolour pattern into deeper, more
vibrant lush garden. rubellisahco-dubai.com
