COASTAL COLLECTION
Ivory Chrysanthemum
The chrysanthemum that is ivory and has been the Coastal Collection's most culturally grounded form.
Description
Coastal wall art in the Coastal Collection includes the chrysanthemum because the chrysanthemum belongs everywhere that white walls and considered form belong — which is everywhere the Japanese imperial seal has hung and everywhere that Chelsea Flower Show arrangements have been designed. The Ivory Chrysanthemum is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Coastal Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in an ivory glaze, shaped in the standard chrysanthemum form — rounded, fully double, the most universally recognizable version of the form that has been the imperial flower of Japan and the symbol of the Chelsea Flower Show's most formal horticultural tradition.
The most culturally significant form in the Coastal Collection's neutral palette
Chive designed the Coastal Collection in Toronto between 2017 and 2020 for committed neutral interiors — the white walls and ivory palette that reads as the most deliberately considered aesthetic position. In ivory, the chrysanthemum form reads as the Coastal Collection connecting two traditions simultaneously: the Japanese imperial chrysanthemum and the Chelsea Flower Show's dedication to the form that Chive has been exhibiting for 13 consecutive years. The Art Institute of Chicago carries the Coastal Collection.
The Art Institute of Chicago carries the Coastal Collection. The Chrysler Museum of Art stocks it. The Huntington Library carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Art institutions from Chicago to Norfolk to California have independently decided this collection belongs in their gift shops. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.

How to Hang Ceramic Flowers?
One discovers these flowers, each bearing a secret: a tiny keyhole nestled in the back, waiting for its destiny. The ritual feels almost predetermined - reaching into that dusty jar of orphaned screws, the ones squirreled away over countless home projects. Those odd bits of metal, collected like precious coins, finally finding their purpose. A quick twist of the drill, and there hangs beauty, supported by hardware whose previous life remains a mystery.
