A bit more about us.
Inspiration from
Grandma’s garden.
Nestled in the Jefferson National Forest in Southern Virginia, a young fellow assisted his grandmother with her year-round country garden. During this time, I learned about flowers and their many variations, how to care for them, and a thing or two about floral design. This began a 30-plus-year love of flowers.
In the present day, I operate an e-commerce business. Thus, I present Papaver Design Studio—an ode to flowers. We are a flower design studio based in Seattle, Washington, designing handmade Floral Terrariums, Enamel Pins, and, during the Holiday season, Floral Ornaments. Our Terrariums and Ornaments feature gorgeous silk flowers—offering a fresh perspective on artificial blooms. Our innovative approach breathes new life into traditional silk flowers, transforming them into stunning, lifelike arrangements that add beauty and elegance to any space. The Enamel Pins illustrate real flowers I've captured photos of during my travels along the California coast.
In my free time, you can find me exploring the PNW with my corgi, browsing vintage boutiques, or researching cocktail recipes.
Design is a love language of mine, and it brings me great joy to share these artfully curated floral designs with you. Welcome to Papaver Design Studio!
Cheers,
Lamar Gaskins, Owner
A fresh perspective on artificial blooms.
What sets our cloche-style terrariums apart is their use of meticulously designed artificial flowers (also known as silk flowers). Our artificial flowers capture the elegance and vibrancy of real blooms, ensuring that your terrarium remains beautiful and fresh-looking all year round—without the need for watering, sunlight, or upkeep. This makes it an ideal choice for busy individuals who appreciate the aesthetics of nature but seek low-maintenance alternatives. Year-round, we carry a robust design selection featuring dahlia, California poppy, peony, orchid, and more.
Crafted with a commitment to eco-sustainability, our terrarium showcases a recycled wooden base that boasts rustic charm while supporting environmentally friendly practices. The clear plastic dome provides a protective layer, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of your terrarium without the worry of dust or damage, making it a perfect addition to your home or office.
Whether you are looking to elevate your own decor or searching for a thoughtful gift, our terrarium makes a delightful and unique choice. Its contemporary design adds a fresh perspective to traditional plant displays, making it suitable for various interior styles—from modern to rustic.
