FLOWERS, INTUITION, AND THE STORIES THEY CARRY: IN CONVERSATION WITH CROCO
What does it mean to arrange flowers not as decoration, but as memory?
For Giulia Rinaldi, also known as Croco (@croco_floral ), flower arranging begins where language ends. Working through seasonality, intuition, and material chance, she builds compositions that carry the weight of stories, borrowed from neighbours’ gardens, forgotten charity shops, and childhood bamboo groves.

A conversation on storytelling, seasonality, and the intelligence that works through the hands.
