What interested the designer is the savoir-faire, the precision in the way materials are employed, and that things are done with passion.

Familiar paths become dead ends, while detours and shortcuts open up. This is different in the city of Karlsruhe, which is notorious for its large construction sites, which keep the infrastructure in constant motion. They reliably illuminate the same square, the same street, the same corner every night. Street lamps are usually a fixed constant in urban space.

Objets made from wood, from small to big scale, can out-live many generations if looked after and treated correctly. Wood is ‘alive’ forever, even after being cut, dried, and processed, so it is inherently related to time. Each plank is different and each species has different properties and characteristics. Wood is a natural, renewable material with no two pieces alike. The post Bibita is a minimalist bottle rack designed by London-based designer Max Frommeld for Mattiazzi.
So, now is the time to harvest your hydrangeas for fall decorating.Bibita is a minimalist bottle rack designed by London-based designer Max Frommeld for Mattiazzi. By drying them in bunches you can have separate bundles to use in different arrangements later. They will never be separated easily again. You can also just stick them in a vase and let them do their thing, but here is a warning if you do that. Hang them upside down to avoid floppy heads if the stems are weak. Remove all the leaves, because they just shrivel up and die anywayĤ. Cut the stems long so you can arrange them in a vase laterģ. By allowing the plant to do most of the drying process for you naturally, you’ll have a hearty hydrangea bloom that will last for years.Ģ. The main thing to remember is to WAIT! Just wait until late summer or early fall to cut the blooms off the plant. Hydrangeas are some of the easiest flowers to preserve, but there are a few things you need to remember when drying them.ġ. To hang them I simply tied a short piece of twine around the stem, then clipped the twine to the chicken wire to hold it in place. Nothing too earth shattering, right? I don’t have step-by-steps of the process, but I have confidence that as a long time DIY blog reader you can figure it out.įor the past few weeks every time I watered my plants I looked at the hydrangeas that were fading from their summer glory and made a mental note to try to preserve them before they were too shriveled up to use.
Find an old wooden picture frame at the thrift store (or maybe your attic?) and staple chicken wire to the back of it, then attach a wire hanger. Today, though, I wanted to show you this simple herb drying rack that I made using chicken wire and a picture frame and talk about the best way to preserve hydrangea blossoms.
I am making preparations for a “fabulous fall” party next week on the blog, where I will be teaming up with a few other spectacular bloggers to show you how to bring the outdoors inside for fall decorating.
