We are particularly pleased when our SuperMagnets are used for aesthetic purposes. Christiane Bracher developed surprising floral decorative ideas with amazing technical solutions in her Floristic Workshop Bracher. She sends us the following examples of her work.
The room installation of upside-down roses was created using glass test tubes, disc- and ring magnets hung with acrylic filament. It's beautiful, isn't it?
On this photo of an installtion using hanging tulips one can see more clearly how the mechanism functions: inside the test tubes you will find magnetic spheres. Ring magnets hung with acrylic filament are used as counterparts on the outside of the test tubes. The flowers are placed in the test tubes, the tube is filled with water then sealed. Afterwards the tube with the flower can be carefully mounted on the magnet ring and hung.
The whole thing again close up - this time with a tulip mobile. Here you can see very well how the K-08-C-magnetic spheres and the R-10-07-03-N-ring magnets hold to each other.
The "Arc of Roses" was made using small glass test tubes which are held to the iron arc using magnets. Here I used S-06-02-N - the magnets were simply laid into the test tubes and then positioned on the iron arc. If you use larger glass tubes, you will need larger magnets as well.
The "Wall of Roses" hangs as if by magic on the wall, each rose well provided with water in its own glass. Here as well, S-06-02-N were used in the same way as with the Arc of Roses. The metal piece on the wall is a piece of a wardrobe rod which has been hung with acrylic filament. One could also apply a row of roses directly to a metal handrail.
The christmas decoration hangs outside under a glass roof. Large branches of fir have been hung with FTN-13 magnetic hooks on the metal roof supports.
