Instead of individual petals, SO20 is built around a broad fan of flat, narrow sola strips, pleated side by side and radiating outward like a paper rosette or a spread shell. The pleats create sharp, regular lines of light and shadow across the white surface, giving the piece a crisp, architectural feel.
Rising from the middle is a soft, domed centre made of fluffy, finely shaved sola. Laid over this dome is a delicate brown, lace-like network of branching natural veins, resembling a skeletonised leaf or fine botanical mesh, which adds an organic, filigree contrast to the smooth pleats around it.
The single close-up product image shows the piece from an angle, so the full outline and base are not visible; the rosette appears to be stemless and designed to sit flat. It is handcrafted in India from natural sola (shola) pith, and the combination of pleated fan and veined dome makes it better suited to statement décor, wall or frame compositions and luxury packaging than to small bouquets.
Floral Mongers can supply SO20 in bulk; buyers are encouraged to request samples to confirm size and finish.

Natural variation
The pleats are folded by hand, so their spacing and the spread of the fan vary between pieces. The vein-net overlay is a natural material, and its pattern, density and brown tone are unique on every rosette. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep dry and away from direct sunlight
- Do not press the domed centre; the vein net is very fine and can tear
- Dust only with a cool, gentle stream of air
- Store individually boxed so the pleats are not crushed
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
