At the victims’ assistance nonprofit Safe Horizon’s annual Champion awards luncheon at the Armory, inspiration came from more than the moving speech of a rape victim who recovered from her trauma with the charity’s help. Marc-Antoine Floral Studios’ floral table centerpieces—rod-shaped arrangements of daisies and greenery perched atop tall bamboo reeds—were meant to signify levity and rebirth too. “The floating daisies represent the lightness you feel after you recover [from something painful],” Marc-Antoine said. “Plus the daisies are such happy, simple flowers they connote joy, and the grass and bamboo are so zen.” At the base of each centerpiece, two square glass vases containing daisies and two containing grass complemented the
square shape of the tables covered in simple white linen.
