We recently partnered with London flower studio Aesme to share their expertise on creating beautiful arrangements of flowers and foliage that reflect place and season. Growing flowers on a small farm in the Hampshire countryside allows the Aesme founders Alex and Jess to connect deeply with the land that their flowers come from, producing an intimate relationship between their materials and their floral designs. As gardener-florists they grow special, unique varieties - creating seasonal, scented and sustainable arrangements. Here, Aesme share inspiration on how to use the Rotunda vase in a variety of different ways, demonstrating the versatility of the vessel.
