- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to apprehend the fashion tendency of materials in floral design and to lead the future’s trend through investigating the frequency of use in plant and non-plant materials based on 2,109 pieces of works published during recent decade. Ranking of top ten in plant materials was Dendranthema spp., Anthurium andreanum, Celosia cristata, Rosa hybrida, Helianthus annuus, Zantedeschia aethiopica, Lilium, Gentiana scabra, Strelitzia reginae, Cymbidium hybrida, and Gebera jamesonii in cut flowers, Asparagus densiflorus, Aspidistra elatior, Philodendron selloum, Dracaena, Rumohra adianriformis, Phormium tenax, Monstera deliciosa, Chamaecyparis obtusa, and Hedera helix in cut foliages, and Salix, Smilelax china, Cornus alba, Edgeworthia papyrifera, Celastrus orbiculatus, Cardiospermum halicacabum, Actinidia arguta, Equisetum hyemale, Euonymus alatus and Phyllostachys bambusoides in cut stems, which were mainly produced all the year round and new species. Timber and straw were used most frequently as subplant materials. Metal was the non-plant material used most frequently in floral design. Component ratio of plant materials was over 60%, but using frequency of non-plant material tended to be increased. Therefore, there is a need for the use of new species purchasable through the year, environment-friendly material related to creativity, and universal materials for emphasis on that of original characteristics in works, and it will correspond with futuristic trend.
