Interpretative Labels

Label

On-point and special color usage of the Flowering Snowball Block created a secondary design formed like of a flower calyx. Combined with straight-line Art Deco elements and the choice of glittering in front of pale-white fabric, midnight flowers appear, that remind of sparkling champagne glasses, savored on a luxurious moonlight garden party in the ROARING TWENTIES.
