BLOOM WORKSHOP

About the company: BloomAgainBklyn is committed to reducing social isolation and loneliness among vulnerable populations by creating connections and conversations through repurposed flowers.  We are a volunteer organization that takes a wasted asset and turns it into an impactful instrument of giving and hope. Flowers can be a powerful vehicle to foster and facilitate dialogue and interaction among generations — young, old and in-between — and to forge meaningful bonds while building community and giving back to those at-risk. 

The space created is inspired by the wilted flowers evoking a unique and unconventional aesthetic, exploring themes of impermanence and the beauty found in decay. This matches with the ideologies of the organization that repurposes wasted and aged flowers.

The space uses distressed wood and aged metal finishes that add a touch of decayed elegance. Frames and support around the first floor space represent deciduous plants during winter, a part of a plants life cycle where decay and wilt occurs.
