Phocealys, partner of the first Gala des Saisons

On December 11, 2025, the plant industry will experience the very first edition of the Gala des Saisons. This unique event celebrates creativity, craftsmanship and the emotion that plant materials bring to the worlds of floral art and decorative design. We are naturally taking part as an event sponsor. We are also supporting a talented creator, Lénaïc Peillon – Le Dahlia Noir, who will produce 12 botanical tableaux for a vibrant, colorful runway show. Phocealys is providing Lénaïc with a wide range of preserved and dried plants to elevate each creation.

A founding event for plant-based design

Imagined as a bridge between fashion, scenography and floral art, the Gala des Saisons stages a scenographic fashion show where each month of the year is expressed through an exceptional creation. Beyond the spectacle, the ambition is clear: to showcase the diversity of the industry—from growers to creators—and remind us how plant materials spark emotions and shape inspiring spaces.

For this first edition, the organizers set the tone: offering a platform for talent that speaks both to professionals (florists, decorators, landscapers, botanical designers, interior architects, scenographers) and to decision-makers and prescribers. The event aims to set the rhythm for upcoming seasons, encourage dialogue, break down barriers between disciplines, and unite the community around a shared vision: plant materials as vectors of meaning, emotion and innovation.

For Phocealys, a meaningful commitment

For Phocealys, this Gala aligns naturally with what we have championed for ten years: offering plant materials that empower creation without maintenance constraints, with textures, colors and shapes that expand the creative field. Based just outside Marseille, we support florists, decorators, landscapers, scenographers and artisans every day with more than 1 700 references in preserved plants, dried flowers and artificial vegetation.

Our role goes beyond supplying products: we make creative work easier. Choice, availability, advice, logistical responsiveness — everything is designed to save time while fueling inspiration. Sponsoring the Gala des Saisons means supporting a collective moment that highlights professions, talents and the quality of materials, in full alignment with our mission.

Le Dahlia Noir x Phocealys: three months, three worlds

In addition to sponsoring the event, we are supporting Le Dahlia Noir, a floral creation studio renowned for its artistic sensitivity and technical mastery. Using our plant materials, three tableaux will embody January, March and August:

January, symbol of renewal, will evoke a mineral, serene atmosphere where preserved mosses and lichens express winter purity.

March, a month of transition and awakening, will play on contrasts: pastel dried flowers, fine foliage and airy compositions.

August will bring energy to the runway with golden spikes and generous volumes embodying summer abundance.

These three creations reflect what we cherish most about plant materials: an authentic, sensory, expressive medium that speaks to both eyes and hands, and fits naturally into brand stories, spatial staging and the identities of places.

Ten years of expertise serving creators

In 2025, we celebrate our 10th anniversary. This decade has taught us one key truth: the strength of the industry lies in the quality of its relationships. With our partner growers, we have built long-term collaborations to ensure consistency, quality and reliability. With our clients, we have developed a culture of listening and tailor-made support to match the uniqueness of each project.

Our logistics — 900 m² of warehouse space, careful preparation, attentive tracking — are designed for immediate availability and short lead times.

We offer professionals a vast plant universe: preserved mosses and lichens with rich textures such as sphagnum or lycopodium, fine and structured ferns (brake, cuir, davalia, lutti…), eucalyptus varieties with diverse silhouettes (gunni, pendula…), graphic foliage, timeless dried flowers (lagurus, phalaris…) and an artificial range tailored for demanding environments and public spaces.

Industry challenges: creativity, quality, responsiveness

Every day, professionals must balance aesthetic requirements with operational pace. Finding the right reference, at the right time, with consistent quality remains the core challenge. For Phocealys, the answer is threefold:

• A clear, relevant selection: ranges designed for decorative, scenographic and retail needs.
• Logistical responsiveness: availability, meticulous preparation, controlled shipping.
• Meaningful support: material advice, trends, combinations, implementation tips.

The Gala des Saisons echoes these challenges: it inspires, provides creative benchmarks and brings people together. It is a moment to share methods, gestures and design intentions, and to experience the power of a shared language: the language of plants.

Why we support this first edition

• Because it is a unifying signal for the industry.
• Because the scenographic format pushes materials and creativity forward.
• Because the industry needs greater visibility.
• Because we believe in sharing, transmission and inspiration.

What visitors can expect

On December 11, you can look forward to:

• signature creations in dialogue with the seasons,
• materials experienced up close: textures, cuts, assemblies,
• ideas easily transferable to window displays, lobbies, hospitality, retail, offices and cultural venues,
• conversations with committed professionals to build new projects from the very next day.

For Phocealys, it is an opportunity to meet the community, share feedback, listen to needs and continually evolve our ranges in line with real-world uses.

A conclusion full of promise

Combining craftsmanship, innovation and shared passion, the Gala des Saisons is poised to become a flagship event for all plant-lovers. For Phocealys, this partnership marks another milestone in our commitment: to inspire, support and celebrate plant creativity in all its forms.
