This project was developed for intimate private dining occasions hosted by a luxury brand, including a late autumn lunch and a separate dinner setting.

Before the event, I visited the venue to understand the character of the space, the flow of guests, and the planned menu and ingredients. Based on these elements, I prepared several seasonal ikebana works to be placed throughout the dining environment.

Rather than creating a dominant floral centerpiece, the installation was designed to appear quietly within the guests’ field of vision, adding another layer to the atmosphere of hospitality while remaining in harmony with the architecture, table setting, and rhythm of the meal.

For a dining occasion, flowers do not always need to become the center of the room. Their role can be quieter: to create a seasonal presence that appears at the edge of vision, supporting the conversation, the food, and the movement of people through the space.

The works were placed in several points of the venue, considering sightlines, circulation, and the way guests would encounter the flowers while seated, walking, or entering the room.

As the occasion took place in late autumn, materials such as rice ears and other seasonal elements were used to bring a sense of harvest and quiet abundance into the space.

食事会のための花は、
必ずしも場の主役になる必要はありません。

会話の合間に、視界の端にふと季節の気配が入ること。
料理や器、空間、人の動きに静かに重なり、
おもてなしの場にもう一枚の層を加えること。

晩秋の実りを感じさせる稲穂や、
香りや質感を持つ素材を用いながら、
それぞれの花が空間に溶け込みつつ、確かに存在するよう構成しました。

装飾として目立つのではなく、
その場にいる人の時間を静かに支えるいけばなを目指しました。
