Floral Design Residency
Contract · French Florist · On-Site
Los Angeles, California, United States
We are inviting a maker of forms
We are assembling a small cohort of independent designers to help define a new language of floristry. Work that feels inevitable the moment you see it. Work that can be taught without losing its soul. Work whose silhouette is recognizable at twenty feet.
Consider this your invitation.
Invent forms, rituals, and product systems in flowers.
Design under constraint and make it feel abundant.
Codify recipes and methods so excellence is repeatable.
Create unboxing experiences that slow time.
Refine until a single angle or tie changes everything.
Collaborate in critique; protect the standard.
Turning $50 of materials into a piece that feels like $1,000.
A signature silhouette; legible emotion; restraint with purpose.
Negative space used as structure, not emptiness.
A hidden line of language discovered by the recipient.
A system another designer can reproduce with integrity.
A new format that changes behavior: daily desk pieces, travel‑proof gifts, micro‑gestures that make giving habitual.
What innovation is not
Adding more stems until it looks full.
Needing $800 of product to feel like $1,000.
One‑off genius that can’t be taught.
Design that hides work instead of revealing it.
Trend mimicry.
Short sprints. Clear briefs. High standards.
Constraint challenges as the engine of creativity.
Critique that is exacting and generous.
Documentation so the language endures.
What you bring
A portfolio that shows taste, discipline, and courage.
Hands that can translate vision; eyes that see structure and color.
Love of restraint; fluency in negative space and line.
Capacity to build systems, not just moments.
Commitment to integrity in seen and unseen places.
Compensation
Day rates up to $700, reserved for those defining the next era of floristry.
