The botanical studio is the first entry from Singapore to participate in Flora this year. It is also the only representative from Asia this year.
This Humid House’s installation is titled Between Magnolias. The title reflects its placement between the centuries-old magnolia trees in the Patio del Reloj of the Palacio de la Merced. This Humid House needs no introduction to Singaporeans. The works of the botanical studio has re-shaped the perception of floral installations with its enigmatic experiments adorning restaurants, hotels, homes, as well as events and weddings of the creative and well-heeled set.
“We are incredibly honoured to have won first prize at Flora 2024. Being the first botanical artist from Singapore to participate in this renowned festival is a privilege, and winning is a testament to our teams’ dedication to showcasing the complex, multispecies relationships that are central to our practice,” said John Lim, who founded This Humid House in 2017. It opened a Paris studio in 2021.
This Humid House’s installation was titled Between Magnolias. The title reflects its placement between the centuries-old magnolia trees in the Patio del Reloj of the Palacio de la Merced. “This poetic reference highlights the invisible world of multispecies interactions – those subtle connections between flora, fauna and other beings that we seldom notice in everyday life.

The studio was given four days to create the installation. “We were in our comfort zone with the materials we chose, particularly palm leaves and palm fruit, so there was a confidence to execute that well,” said Lim.
