About Orchid Conservatory

Orchid Conservatory grows from "orchidelirium" — the 19th-century British mania for exotic orchids cultivated under the glass and cast iron of Kew's Palm House and Paxton's hothouses. Its language is Cattleya mauve-magenta blooming against deep bottle-green painted ironwork, lit by a humid glasshouse glow.

The system is lush and dense by design: chromolithograph botanical detail, iron-lattice structure, brass fittings, and arched conservatory curves. Every surface reads like a framed botanical plate set into a shaded, foliage-heavy interior.
