JAPAN COLLECTION
Latte Lola Echeveria
The Lola echeveria that is latte and is the Japan Collection's most quietly wabi-sabi succulent.
Description
Japandi wall art in the Japan Collection includes the Lola echeveria because Echeveria 'Lola' is one of the succulents most associated with the wabi-sabi aesthetic — its translucent, pale rosette leaves have a quality of understated elegance that the Japanese aesthetic tradition values in natural forms. The Latte Lola Echeveria is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Japan Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a latte glaze, shaped in the Lola echeveria rosette form — the compact, symmetrical succulent rosette with slightly cupped leaves that create depth at the center.
The warm natural neutral on the most wabi-sabi succulent form
Chive designed the Japan Collection in 2020 with the full range of the Japanese aesthetic palette, and latte on the Lola echeveria rosette is the Japan Collection's most wabi-sabi succulent combination — the warm natural neutral of the Japanese material palette on the succulent form most associated with understated elegance and natural restraint. Lola echeveria in the living plant has pale, translucent grey-green leaves that age to a warm cream — the natural aging process produces a color very close to latte. In ceramic, the latte glaze captures the color that the living plant grows toward. The Parrish Museum in the Hamptons carries the Japan Collection.

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.
