Spanish artist Ignacio Canales Aracil creates vessels reminiscent of upside-down baskets using nothing but pressed flowers. The art of flower pressing dates back thousands of years; pressed flowers were reportedly discovered in a 3,000-year-old coffin of Tutankhamun’s mother in Egypt, and both Greek and Roman botanists were known to preserve plants using techniques that continue today.

Or are you just drawn to the look of dried flowers in a vase as a statement piece? No matter your motivation, there is no denying that when it comes to decor, dried flowers are here to stay.
