If you’ve ever collected and pressed flowers, you’ll likely appreciate the beautiful furniture designs by TK Fareed. She takes real botanicals and preserves them inside stunning resin and wood tables, allowing you to appreciate nature’s incredible beauty at home. Each unique floral composition looks like a rich still-life painting, full of stunning details and seemingly infinite layers.
Fareed creates her stunning, resin-encased pieces using preserved flowers and botanicals, as well as cruelty-free butterfly and moth specimens made from paper. She sources her flowers locally from wholesale florists, wildflower fields, and even from her own mother’s garden. Each delicate botanical is then chemically dehydrated before being meticulously arranged next to rustic, live-edge wooden slabs and cast in glossy epoxy resin.
The dark backgrounds contrast with the vibrant flowers, creating a captivating, nocturnal scene that’s totally mesmerizing. “I choose flowers and botanicals intuitively, based almost entirely on their colors, textures, and petal structure,” Fareed tells My Modern Met. “I love working with bright vibrant colors to start out with, as they tend to evoke the most beautifully haunting appearance once they’re cast against my signature infinite black epoxy backgrounds.” In one particularly-haunting piece, Fareed even included a real raccoon skull that she found in the woods while walking her dog. On Instagram she says, “I love natural history.”
From small, round surfaces to large, banquet-worthy tables, Fareed creates functional and unique pieces to suit any occasion. Always open to commissions, she adds, “I’m always happy to hunt down specific flower varieties for clients that bear sentimental or symbolic significance for them as well.”
