Dining by Designer: Marc Jacobs is pushing petals

Move over, sunflowers. Daisies are the cheerful new floral motif
appearing on all sorts of tableware accessories, from dinner plates
to tea pots. Flower power these days has more to do with the
current interest in nature and gardening and the daisies all-natural
air of innocence has a very modern appeal.

The daisy's flat simplicity makes it a popular contemporary
graphic motif and who better than Marc Jacobs to make this
beloved country flower (used in his new dinnerware pattern -
Daisy Blanc), sweet and funky at the same time! His crystal flower
pots are fabulous and would look great filled with daisies. Of all
the flowers daisy flowers are the flowers, which can be used for
decorating any part of the house. Daisy flower arrangements can
be used for decorating your dining tables or your coffee tables.
