Nature is a model, a source of design inspiration, and a provider of raw materials. Nature is, simply, the fashionable creator of art ideas! Ceramic pots and bowls imitate the form of leaves and wood grain and echo the shapes and forms of feathers.

Natural Beauties Bring Life to Tables and Entrances
Antlers are fashioned in porcelain and silver. Wood is worked to form bowls, plant-pot holders, candle holders. Flowers, shrubs, brushwood, and moss form wreaths, which are made into fresh bouquets, bringing life to tables and entrances. But natural fruits, too, are popular, such as acorns and pine cones. Equally popular are soft materials in the form of bright and cheerful holiday decorations.

And vases too can happily also be ‘natural’. As Joost Wieseman from Jodeco Glass observes: “We do a line of products made from recycled glass and they have sold really, really well this year.”

Plants in the Form of Holiday Decor
Also to be seen were, moreover, some felt plant-pot covers, as well as wreaths with felt woven into them. Particularly popular for 2017 are cacti and succulents – both real and imitation – as containers, vases, candles, and fairy lights and also as motifs on cushions.

The cactus is in ascendancy. Be it in natural form or as a hanging decoration from Inge Glas or as a design on cushions from pad home. Pineapples, too, are still around and command attention – even in winter: in the form of candles, for example, or a string of fairy lights.
