Chelsea in Bloom 2026

A Galaxy in Two Dimensions
Hamish Powell Studio X The Conran Shop
Out of This World, Chelsea in Bloom 2026

Winner of the Innovation Award at Chelsea in Bloom 2026, A Galaxy in Two Dimensions by Hamish Powell, a London-based multidisciplinary floral artist, brings together botanical science, art, and fashion in a practice centred on emotional expression through flowers.

Transforming the vast motif of the galaxy into a two-dimensional plane, the installation presents pressed pansies, daisies, forget-me-nots, cosmos, delphinium, and British wildflowers, each hand-placed between layers of Perspex acrylic to form a floral interpretation of the cosmos. Individually, each composition reads as a constellation; viewed together, they form a larger, swirling floral galaxy. The works are arranged on stainless steel stands at varying heights, overlapping to create the greater combined composition.

Dry and unchanging, the pieces require no maintenance. The installation reflects Powell’s approach to floristry as both botanical study and artistic expression. A considered choreography of form, material, and composition.
