COASTAL COLLECTION
Ivory Spider Mum
The spider mum that is ivory and has been the Coastal Collection's most dramatic form since 2017.
Description
Coastal wall art does not require the ocean. It requires the decision to put white on a wall and mean it — the ivory that reads as deliberate rather than default, as the color someone chose after looking at every other color and returning to ivory. The Ivory Spider Mum is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Coastal Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in an ivory glaze, shaped in the spider mum form — narrow tubular petals radiating outward in the quilled structure that gives the spider mum its name and its architectural presence on a wall.
White walls, angled pin lights, and the ivory that earns its shadows
Chive's founder Todd Newgren designed the Coastal Collection for his own walls — white walls, eleven white and ivory ceramic flowers, angled pin lights positioned to cast shadows behind each piece. The spider mum form earns the pin light treatment more than any other Coastal piece: the quilled narrow petals cast distinct individual shadows that a rounded form would not produce. In ivory, the spider mum on a white wall reads as the Coastal Collection at its most considered — the warm neutral on the architectural form, the ivory that makes the white wall read as a surface rather than an absence. The Getty Museum carries the Coastal Collection.
The Getty Museum carries the Coastal Collection. The Art Gallery of Ontario stocks it. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 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 Los Angeles to Toronto to Cleveland 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.
