The Conran Shop’s latest addition is quite literally a moment frozen in time – a real dandelion suspended in acrylic by artisans in Japan. Takao Inoue was inspired by the works of Shiro Kuramata (the designer who uses the material to craft furniture and sculptures) when he designed this objet d’art. Each flower was hand-picked and they may well be the only dandelions left intact– the temptation to scatter the seeds is too overwhelming whenever you come across one in life.
