An interactive installation by Japanese designers tells about the relationship of all living things.

The installation of Floating Flower Garden, created by the Japanese design bureau teamLab, immersed the viewer in a wonderful world. Coming under a tall white dome, you fell into Eden: hundreds of flowers hovered over you. When you approached, they came to life, began to move, giving way: they rose, let go, and descended behind you, as if inviting me to begin a conversation with them. How this, according to legend, was once done by a learned monk, who sought to understand the laws of life. Walking through the blooming garden, he realized the main thing: everything alive, whether plant or human, came from one root. The Japanese believe that it is time for us, in the era of man-made disasters, to just remember this, to which we dedicated our poetic work.

Дизайнерам удалось осуществить действительно сложную техническую задачу: благоухающие цветы продолжали расти и цвести на протяжении всей выставки Maison&Objet, в рамках которой был реализован проект, благодаря тому что флористы сохранили корни и обеспечили им необходимое питание. Всего было использовано более 2000 растений. Специально для показа Floating Flower Garden также записали медитативный саундтрек.
