Dyson launched their new pink Airwrap and Chitosan mushroom-derived haircare range at Kin House with an immersive influencer event that unfolded across lunch, a hands-on workshop, and an evening dinner. I was asked to design the florals and tablescaping throughout the day, with each space responding to a different part of the story; from strawberry-toned arrangements for the afternoon tea to a sculptural, earthy, mushroom-led dinner inspired by the natural world.
The energy of the day was clear from the outset: fashion and beauty influencers, back-to-back styling sessions, and a real buzz around the product launches. It needed to feel on-theme, but never forced – cleverly considered and distinctly editorial in tone.
Strawberry Pink Florals for the Welcome Lunch
The Hearth Room hosted the welcome lunch and product talk, where the pink Airwrap took centre stage. The direction was “strawberries and cream”: juicy reds, soft pinks, and plenty of white to keep the palette fresh and light.
I created meadow-style ikebana bowls for the tables, full of movement and lightly structured rather than overly arranged. Sweet peas, roses and dahlias featured heavily, with striped red roses becoming a particular talking point. Nasturtiums spilt from the edges for that just-gathered, slightly unruly feel and vases of flowers were dotted throughout the house so that the palette followed guests as they moved through the spaces.
Bouquet Making in Kin House’s Kilvert Bar
While guests rotated through their hair appointments with the Dyson styling team, I led a bouquet-making workshop in the Kilvert Bar. Using late-summer garden ingredients, each guest created a hand-tied bouquet to take home.
It added an interactive element to the styling sessions, keeping hands busy, conversations flowing, and ribbons tied and re-tied. It doesn’t happen all the time, but when I’m asked to lead a workshop, it often becomes a favourite moment: when floristry becomes not just something to look at, but something people get to touch, create with, and genuinely take part in.
Dusky Pink Mushroom Tablescaping for Dinner
Dinner returned everyone to the Hearth Room, but the mood had moved completely away from fresh strawberries and cream. This chapter celebrated Dyson’s Chitosan mushroom haircare, and the brief became all about forest-floor texture rather than vibrant colour.
Tables were layered with sculptural ikebana bowls, bud vases, moss and an abundance of speciality mushrooms. Kin House created a full mushroom tasting menu, while Dyson introduced beautifully crafted 3D paper mushrooms as part of the tablescape. My role was to build a floral language that felt grounded and tactile with a palette that moved into muddy neutrals: soft browns, creams, greens and the shimmer of honesty seedheads. Zinnias, nicotiana, scabiosa and grasses softened the structure, while the mushrooms themselves stole the show. In fact, sourcing them became a design process in its own right!
This was the part of the brief I was most excited about from the start, tablescaping like this – where food, florals and concept are fully intertwined – is where floristry becomes something closer to artistic installation.
Late-Summer Fun with Dyson Beauty
Despite the strong themes running through each space, nothing felt literal or over-styled; we managed to keep it chic and sensorial throughout.
From strawberry-toned tablescaping for the Dyson Airwrap lunch to the earthy, mossy, mushroom-led dinner inspired by texture and the forest floor, each element felt truly intentional, and with Kin as the backdrop, it became one of those projects where concept, location and execution aligned perfectly.
