MAZDA x plantica | NYIAS Pre-Show Event "Sense of…" Spatial Floral Scenography

On March 22, 2016, Mazda hosted “Sense of…”—an exclusive exhibition and press conference held on the eve of the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). plantica was commissioned to direct the floral and spatial design across the venue.

Aligned with the theme “Sense of…”, the space embodied Japanese aesthetics that appeal to the human senses—echoing Mazda’s core philosophies of “Jinba Ittai” (horse and rider as one) and “KODO: Soul of Motion” through dynamic contrasts of stillness and motion.

Scenography: Ikebana Meets Vacuum-Packed Botanical Art

1. Ikebana Installations with “Ikebanakit”

Across the public areas and the VIP lounge, plantica utilized its proprietary “Ikebanakit” vases, styling fresh botanicals sourced directly from New York’s local flower markets. The asymmetrical composition and subtle Japanese aesthetic captured widespread acclaim and interest from global press and VIP attendees.

2. Vacuum-Packed Floral Chandelier

As a visual centerpiece, countless sheets of fresh flowers sealed in transparent vacuum packaging were suspended to form a massive floral chandelier. This juxtaposition of living botanicals and industrial vacuum seals created a sensory-driven, forward-thinking installation.
