When you first see it aglow with its fine intricacies, it may not show, but the Wildflower collection started its path to existence thanks to Mary V. Walcott’s Oconee-Bells discovered in the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives Special Collections. Taking center stage is a touch of Danish modern on top of midcentury. Wildflower combines delicate, handmade ice glass flower petals, with equally delicate wispy hand-forged and recycled steel tubing and metal work. Available in gold or black.

Through this collaboration, Varaluz has taken inspiration from the National Air and Space Museum, the National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute, and the famed Pollinator Garden, among other Smithsonian sources, and the results will make any home soar to new heights. Like the Smithsonian’s mission, Varaluz endeavors to create collections that span the breadth of art and design, from the ancient to the modern-day, from the playful to the practical, while capturing designs that are not only integral to everyday life, but to humanity, in a way that enriches us all.
