Flowers and plants with a futuristic wink
In floral arrangements and interior planting, Orbit Revive translates to striking retro elements. We see:

One-sided floral arrangements with height variations inspired by the 1980s.
Dried flowers and plants are making a comeback as a durable and decorative element.
Variegated foliage and contrasting plant combinations add visual excitement.

Colors and shapes: Vintage meets modern
This trend uses deep, warm hues such as bordeaux, orange and oxblood red, combined with futuristic metallics and chrome accents. This gives flower arrangements and plant arrangements a retro Space Age look.

What does this mean for florists?
The combination of sustainability and design presents opportunities in this trend. Dried flowers, organic shapes and space influences create a unique aesthetic that resonates with consumers looking for a mix of vintage and innovation.
