The formal silhouettes, preserved.
The spiral and the cone are the two silhouettes that make a doorway formal, and preserving them removes the one obstacle: care. Real foliage, preserved at peak freshness, holds the shape and the color for years in lobbies, halls and reception — no water, no light, no trimming.
Indoors and covered spaces only; for open weather, the artificial versions carry the same shapes.

What defines a preserved spiral?
The groove. A true spiral silhouette turns around a visible center, adding motion and vertical lift no straight shape manages — and preserving it locks years of hand-shaping into a form that will never grow out of line. The cone is its quieter partner: a clean taper that reads formal from any distance.
Where do preserved spirals and cones work?
- Flanking interior doorways — the classic matched pair, minus the maintenance schedule
- Hotel corridors and lift lobbies — height and rhythm in spaces daylight never reaches
- Restaurants and retail — formality customers stand next to, so real foliage matters
How are they built to last?
Real foliage, preserved at peak, over a welded and finished armature — the piece holds its line because the structure under it does. Care is dusting, and the two rules of all preserved work: no water, no direct sun. The full material story is on how we preserve; for the same silhouettes in open weather, the artificial spiral takes over outdoors.
Spiral or cone — or one of each?
Matched pairs are the formal answer, but the designer’s trick is the mixed pair: cone left, spiral right, unified by identical pots. The cone grounds the composition while the spiral moves it — useful at doorways where strict symmetry would fight an off-center handle or sidelight. Indoors, a single spiral in a corridor does what art does, at a fraction of the insurance.
Questions about preserved spirals and cones
Why preserved instead of artificial here?
Up close, real preserved foliage reads as what it is — real. In reception and dining spaces where people stand next to the piece, that closeness is the reason to choose it.
