Delicate sprigs of greenery become artwork when pressed between two sheets of Plexiglas. We’re currently coveting Japanese designer Norihiko Terayama’s one-of-a-kind dried-flower rulers.
Each of the g,a,r,d,e,n and f,l,o,w,e,r,s rulers Mr. Terayama designed for his Studio Note line has a stem or blossom encased in clear acrylic at 1-centimeter intervals. Each dried flower is placed by hand, in a manner at once precise and idiosyncratic. Quick, find us something to measure:
