FIREWEED is a celebration of the botanical matrix. Through the art of pressing and drying, flower and plant specimens are lovingly suspended in time. Drawing inspiration from the Victorian-era art form and the 1970s craft movement, this distinctive collection by Anahata Joy is a modern-day interpretative revival of a centuries-old tradition.
Anahata's distinctive aesthetic and lifestyle brand, PAPAYA, has been celebrated around the globe since 2003. Its sister brand, FIREWEED, is a nod to simpler times and botanical nostalgia. Anahata's inspirations flow from childhood memories of fireweed and clovers drying under heavy books, sunlit pressed flowers, and stained-glass reflections from the windows of her family's cabin in Alaska.
