I got caught up in the idea that the bouquet could be lifted out of the tool, machine or whatever it was going to be, but didn't get ahead. I was clear that it would take 2 levels/ discs with a number of holes in which the stems went through. With a twist, the spiral would be accomplished. But how do I get the bouquet off...
After many years, the redeeming idea came on a beautiful early summer day in a summer cottage area outside Malmö. During a coffee break when, as usual, I was thinking about things, it was suddenly clear. The intended "bouquet moth" does not need to be taken off the bouquet. It just needs to be designed so it becomes part of the bouquet!
I immediately ran out into the storage room and started working on what became the first prototype (you can see it in the photo below) by Hanataba. This was in May 2018.
In January 2020 it was premiered at Formex in Stockholm
The rest, as they say, is history.
