Pressed nemophila flowers with clear blue blooms are enclosed in an acrylic plate.  The name comes from the Greek words Nemos, meaning a small forest, and Phileo, meaning to love.

The stems grow in a horizontal spreading manner, so if seeds are sown at regular intervals, the nemophila will bloom to cover the ground. Large parks in Japan have established ‘nemophila fields’ where the blue of the sky mixes with the blue of the flowers, creating a spectacular sight.

About Sola Tiles

Solo Tiles contain beautifully preserved plants, seeds or minerals, exquisitely presented in acrylic tiles, which can be arranged and combined in multiple patterns to inspire sensitivity and learning.

Every Sola Tile is carefully handmade by an experienced Japanese craftsman, and each one takes considerable time and effort to complete. Outstanding craftsmanship is required to ensure that this small transparent tile holds a precious plant, seed or mineral at its very centre and that no air bubbles get inside.

The Sola Philosophy

3.8 billion years have passed since the first single life began on Earth. Later, this life evolved into flowers, fruit and seeds, maintained in life cycles that continued for millions upon millions of generations.

The colours and materials each have their own unique purposes. These intriguing shapes have formed unpretentiously for each functional purpose by the hand of Mother Nature.

By observing a small plant carefully, we are able to glimpse a more perfect world. We express the name “Sola” with the Chinese kanji 宙, which means “universe.”  This kanji explains everything we know and don’t know, including time and space, with a single character. Sola also has another meaning: “blue sky.” An imaginary world spreads out like the sky before us.
