TEAMLAB BRINGS ITS FLOATING FLOWER GARDEN TO MAISON & OBJET
An immersive experience involving more than 2,300 live orchids

Teamlab is a collective of Japanese designers and creative talents based in Tokyo. Their Floating Flower Garden installation, which was originally showcased at Tokyo’s Miraikan National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, was recently reassembled for Maison & Objet in Paris. Over two thousand orchids, suspended in midair, create a softly undulating canopy that interacts with user movement. Visitors slowly immerse themselves in a slow dance of flowers lifting and falling. When combined with soft music and the delicate floral odor, the installation becomes an enchanting sensory experience that draws visitors in, encouraging them to become one with the garden.

Incredibly, the entire garden is alive and growing. The same orchids were used in both installations and were transported from Japan to France specifically for Maison & Objet.
