Meet Lamar
Papaver Design Studio is my ode to flowers. We are a bespoke flower design studio in Seattle, Washington, making flower cloches, arrangements, and enamel pins.
I’m creative at heart through flower design, illustration, and being a classically trained musician. I value the experience in which art and nature make one feel.
Flowers provide a memorable experience and have a knack for bringing joy into our lives—whether they are real or artificial flowers. I’m quite thrilled to introduce you to my designs and hope they, too, make an excellent addition to your life.
In my free time, I explore the PNW with my corgi, attend Seattle Art Walks, browse vintage boutiques, and research cocktail recipes.
What we make
Flower cloche-style terrariums
A flower cloche with a wooden base and plastic dome. Inside, it showcases a tasteful flower arrangement featuring an artificial flower (also known as silk flowers). As a final touch, the cloche is adorned with a bedding of light and airy moss and a sprig of artemisia. Our artificial flowers capture the elegance and vibrancy of real blooms, ensuring that your cloche 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.
Flower enamel pins
Enamel pins are a fan favorite. Our soft-enamel pins illustrate photos of flowers I’ve captured during my travels along the West Coast. From the gardens of Filoli in Woodside, California, to Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia, you, too, can take home a portion of some of the West Coast's most beautiful gardens.
Inspiration from Grandma’s garden
Flowers are part of my DNA. 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+ year love affair.
