Design in Bloom is Modern In Denver magazine’s signature spring event, which every year reaches capacity and draws 500+ creative professionals and modern enthusiasts together for a night of conversation and celebration. Attendees see nature and design intersect in the hands of Colorado designers and architects, as they create floral displays amidst the most influential in our community. Our proposal for the 2019 submission was entitled Leto, and was an experimentation in material, form and time. The team was asked to submit a narrative along with the entry that supports and elucidates the story of the piece (below).
Our collective experience has been defined by intense transitions, challenges, and growth. The idea of growth tends to be positive. The use of the word ‘grow’ insinuates a change for the better, but constructive development demands effort and will. Growth is involuntarily perpetual, and voluntarily positive. It is unsure, it is daring, it is courageous, it is beautiful.
