Michael Daigian Design has been a part of this fabulous ode to art since it started 28 years ago.We had the honor of participating in Bouquets to Art once again this year with 2 special pieces of art as our inspirations, Cornelia Parkers "Anti-Mass" and Mark Rothko's "Untitled".

Michael's design inspiration was Mark Rothkos "Untitled 1949" and was featured in an article on the 2012 Bouquets to Art by the SFGate.

The week leading up to Bouquets to Art we also had the amazing opportunity to create a special display for Gump's again this year, the inspiration was "taking flight". Gump's has been wonderful in supporting Michael and his talent for creating one of a kind floral displays.

The Egret was first made with fresh flowers for the " Taking Flight" event at Gumps.

The Egret was then made out of non-floral elements to have it looking good while it was on display for over a week.
