Skimmia Bud Ball (Fernleaf Edit) — Berry Black

This premium artificial set includes three stems built around Skimmia bud spheres, and it speaks in nocturne tones: hundreds of tiny, trumpet tipped buds radiate from each core in an ombré that drifts from olive to berry black with hints of plum and espresso, their seed-pearl surfaces reading crisp and matte. We’ve traded the usual glossy lanceolate foliage for deep green, fern-like leaves that lift the rounded clusters into a taller, more tailored silhouette and frame the warm cool contrast at the heart. The fronds open like a fine cape, turning points into planes so the whole reads modern, disciplined and full of cadence. Styled together the three stems feel gallery clean yet inviting, equally at home in Christmas tablescapes and in industrial or serene minimalist interiors, where their measured geometry adds calm without noise.

Design notes
Seat the bundle in matte black ceramic for sculptural depth, smoked graphite glass to echo the inky buds, aged brass to warm the palette, or pale travertine to lift the olives. With bone, oatmeal and mushroom grey it feels composed and tranquil; alongside claret, pine and midnight it becomes a sumptuous holiday statement; against sage and eucalyptus it melts into a tonal landscape. Pair with roses for romance, hydrangea for clouded volume, gerbera for a sun bright accent, and Cattleya orchid for refined flourish.
