Norfolk Pine Garland | 60"

CLASSIFICATION: Faux Botanical LENGTH: 60 Inches (5 Feet) TEXTURE: Soft-Touch Polymer | Hydrophobic ROLE: The Heavy Drape

Most artificial garlands suffer from rigor mortis—they stand up stiffly, defying gravity and logic. The Norfolk Pine is the antidote to this rigidity.

This 60-inch garland replicates the specific biology of the Araucaria heterophylla (Norfolk Island Pine). Unlike the prickly spruce, the Norfolk is prized for its soft, heavy boughs that succumb to gravity. This recreation captures that specific weight. It does not sit on a mantel; it flows over it.

Utilizing "Real-Touch" polymer technology, it feels cool and waxy to the hand, indistinguishable from the living plant. It features a sophisticated color gradient, mixing deep emeralds with lighter "new growth" tips to simulate a living, growing organism rather than a static object.

THE CURATOR'S NOTES

• The Tactile Mimicry: This is the "Soft-Touch" standard. The needles are rubberized and pliable. You can run your hand along the garland without the scratchy, plastic feedback of traditional PVC.
• Volumetric Engineering: Be advised: This garland arrives compressed. Like a piece of fine joinery, it requires setup. You must "fluff" and articulate the wired branches. When fully deployed, it expands to a substantial 14-inch width, creating a dense, luxurious footprint.
• The "New Growth" Detail: The aesthetic success lies in the tips. The lighter green gradation at the ends of the branches mimics the fresh photosynthesis of a healthy plant, tricking the eye into seeing life.
• Hydrological Freedom: Real Norfolk Pines are tropical and fussy about humidity. This one requires zero misting and will never drop a needle on your carpet. It remains perfectly preserved, year after year.
