"As we enter the season of dry, browning gardens, we find ourselves drawn to interiors that feel visually rich with life. One piece the editors at Remodelista are all coveting: a botanicals-covered cabinet, in full bloom no matter the season. Here are three appealing iterations, at three very different price points. High Above: Josef Frank is considered the father of Swedish modern design-and his Cabinet 852 is a Svenskt Tenn classic."
"The original version, designed in 1937, was inspired by Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus's summer house, which had bedrooms wallpapered with pages of illustrated botanicals from the 18th-century book Plantae Selectae. (Read the full origin story here.) This current iteration is a 2024 re-launch, featuring 115 flora prints from the second edition of Nordens Flora; $47,000. Medium Above: Set at a much more affordable price, fashion designer Joseph Altuzarra's Kids Botanical Dresser debuted at West Elm this past summer."
"The hand-painted storage unit is part of his children's decor collection for the retailer, but we think it's elegant enough for grownup spaces, too; $1,599. Low (Maybe Even Free?) Above: Former Remodelista editor Izabella Simmons lined the back of this vintage vitrine with Swedish botanical prints, a winning and easy DIY project."
As gardens dry and brown, interiors that feel visually rich with life gain appeal. A botanicals-covered cabinet provides floral visuals year-round. The high-end option is Josef Frank's Cabinet 852, a Svenskt Tenn classic re-launched in 2024 with 115 flora prints from the second edition of Nordens Flora; the design traces to Linnaeus's summer house and pages from Plantae Selectae; price $47,000. A mid-range option is Joseph Altuzarra's hand-painted Kids Botanical Dresser at West Elm, $1,599. A low-cost approach involved lining a vintage vitrine with Swedish botanical prints for an easy DIY solution.
