Dried Floral Installation at dilekerei Café
Step into the heart of Berlin and look up—you’ll find a warm and textural surprise floating above your coffee at dilekerei. I had the joy of designing and creating a dried floral installation for this cozy, elegant space, using a natural palette of earthy browns, mocca hues, dried hydrangea, and golden grains. The result is a suspended piece of seasonal poetry with a refined sense of calm.
The installation is more than décor—it’s an invitation to pause. By using dried hydrangeas, each with its soft papery petals and subtle color variations, paired with grains harvested at their golden peak, the piece evokes late summer fields and early autumn light. These materials were chosen for their sculptural beauty, longevity, and ability to transform as the light changes throughout the day.
Floating above the café’s central counter, the installation mirrors the beauty of the café’s interior. Its organic shape draws the eye upward, creating a gentle canopy that adds intimacy to the space without overwhelming it. The moody browns and mocca tones harmonize with dilekerei’s warm wooden textures and handmade ceramics, enhancing the sensory experience of every visit.
Working with dried flowers allows for sustainability without sacrificing elegance. This installation is designed to last—changing subtly over time, just like the café’s menu, which highlights seasonal ingredients and handmade treats. The choice of materials means there’s no need for water or upkeep, yet the beauty remains constant.
Whether you’re stopping by for a slice of cake, a strong espresso, or a quiet moment, the dried floral installation at dilekerei offers a serene backdrop. It’s a celebration of natural textures, muted color stories, and the beauty of preservation.
Come and see how florals can float, linger, and inspire—from above.
