In this two-part video series, This Humid House turns locally sourced materials—cuttings from houseplants, fallen branches and market fruit and flowers into arrangements for the home. Follow along as their senior designers demonstrate techniques that will allow any receptacle that holds water—bowls and cups included, to serve as vessels for their masterpieces.
