ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
Elizabeth Hayt is an author, artist and designer renowned for her handmade textile flowers. After a career as an art critic, writing for ArtNews and lecturing at MoMa, followed by reporting on culture and beauty for the NYT, Vogue and others, Elizabeth Hayt turned her discerning eye toward making unique home decor collectibles inspired by the animal and plant world.
She has taken her deep knowledge of couture fashion and borrowed from its emphasis on luxury and imaginative uses of material - weaving together elaborate compositions and material finery, from metallic brocade to glittery tulle to Swarovski crystals to vintage millinery plumes. Her work evokes the spirit of the baroque along with archly feminine ornamentation. These elegant and yet extravagant faux flora inspired her recent tabletop collections which are available at Bergdorf Goodman. Her designs have been featured in Elle Decor, NYC Cottages and Garden, Hamptons Magazine and others.
Craftsmanship
Our signature flowers are handcrafted by a small team of designers in our New York City atelier. They are composed of luxury fabrics, fine trimmings, European crystals, glass stamen and high polished brass hardware. All of our materials are ethically sourced through vintage distributors. Led by Elizabeth’s vision and background in high fashion and fine art, our artisans are technically trained in the area of fine art sculpture, fabric construction, three dimensional design and illustration. We strive to create unique, collectible objet d’art for the home.

Customer Testimonial
“I have been a customer of Elizabeth Hayt for a few years, and bought 4 flowers in 2021 and another set of flowers in ‘23. They are sooooo consistently beautiful and always get a smile from myself and guests that come to my apartment for cocktails and parties. Some people prefer living flowers which have about a week’s life! I adore how organically the fabrics and crystals make my room light up with color and sparkle. Many thanks to everyone at Elizabeth Hayt!”
