Botanical Beauties

Small Catkins Lamp by Hannah Nunn

Hello everyone, for the last post in the Botanical Beauties series I'm featuring products and packaging that have botanical designs.

As a lover of all things flora and fauna, I think any product with a botanical icon or illustration has a very special feel to it. Whether that's a plain, simple icon or a detailed and delicate repeat pattern, natural elements lend themselves to a wide range of products and designs. From big brands and companies like Cath Kidston and Crabtree & Evelyn to independent brands and companies such as the products of the independent designers featured today.

What are some of your favourite floral or botanical product designs?

One of my fave artists - Dan Bennett - has a print called Wild Garden that made it on to my lampshades and it's turning out to be a great seller! People love to bring colour and nature inside their home. http://quincylampshades.bigcartel.com/product/wild-garden-lampshade
