An otherworldly floral orb for Chelsea in Bloom 2026, shaped by Scandinavian folklore.
The floral orb has beamed in from some mystical & otherworldly land but is shaped by Klättermusen’s Swedish roots & norse mythological ties.
Three of the many flowers & plants used in the orb were chosen for their links to Scandinavian plantlore.
Campanula or Liten Blåklocka, translating to ‘little bluebell’ was chosen as Sweden’s national flower in 2021.
It’s found widespread across the country’s landscape and is symbolic of humility & connection to nature.
Yarrow, also known as ‘battleherb’ was used by Norse healers in the Viking age to treat battle wounds due to its antiseptic & anti-inflammatory properties. It was applied as a salve or brewed in teas and even used in beer flavouring.
Daisies are associated with the Freyja, the Norse goddess of love, beauty & fertility. Their Scandinavian folk name being ‘Freyja’s flower’ they symbolise eternal love.
It is said when Freyja cried for her lost partner Óðr, her tears turned to daisies and scattered across the land.
The orb is also home to three hidden window worlds which are linked to three of klattermusen products named after characters from norse mythology, Sol, Eitre & Diser.
To learn about those you better go and peak through the secret windows for yourself.
The orb is on display until the 24th at 36 kings road, London.
There are still a few spots to come and create your own miniature dried floral orb on Sunday, link in bio to tickets.
