In early 2009, we were commissioned by the prestigious champagne house Laurent-Perrier to create the “Aerial Garden”, and installation for the Paris spring garden festival “Jardin, Jardin” at the Tuileries Garden. With champagne bubbles very much in mind, we proposed a large tree made of steel and hung with 20,000 champagne-colored Mother of Pearl leaves. The shimmering and airy silver tree was surrounded with clouds planted with undulating waves of frothy Stipa grasses and delicate flowers.
The garden won the Grand Prize Award, presented by Henri Loyrette, President and Director of the Louvre Museum.
