Plants Through the Seasons: A Look Back at the Gala des Saisons

Last Thursday, the Gala des Saisons, imagined by Chlorosphère, delivered on every promise. Meaningful encounters, inspiring conversations… and above all, that collective energy that reminds us why our professions matter. A gathering where the seasons become a true playground for creative expression. The creations showcased during the evening were a perfect illustration: sensitive, bold and masterfully executed compositions. In this setting, Olivier and Hugues share their vision of the plant-based supply chains, the sector’s current challenges, and how Phocealys supports, day after day, professionals in botanical design.

1. What is your role at the heart of Nature’s supply chains today?

Phocealys is a leading distributor of preserved plants and dried flowers for professionals in botanical decoration. Our role sits at the crossroads of plant-based and creative industries.

For 10 years, we have built long-lasting relationships with our partner growers to source and guarantee high-quality products. Today, our catalogue features more than 1,700 references designed to spark creativity.

More than a wholesaler, Phocealys has become a trusted ally, able to provide inspiration, guidance and tailor-made solutions to creators, florists, landscapers, set designers and decorators. Our mission: to inspire, support and give professionals the means to elevate plant-based materials in all their forms.

2. What is the biggest challenge for your clients and your sector today?

Plant professionals must balance creativity, aesthetic standards and speed of execution. The main challenge today is saving time without ever losing inspiration.

Finding the right products, within the right lead times, while ensuring consistent quality has become a central issue for decorators, florists and creators.

Their day-to-day work is shaped by bespoke projects that require reliable partners—able to offer selection, responsiveness and advice. This is exactly where Phocealys is committed, so our clients can focus on what matters most: creating.

3. What is your brand’s purpose for tomorrow?

To be the partner that makes the creative daily life of plant professionals easier.

We want to keep anticipating the sector’s needs, offering ever more inspiring collections, and delivering a simple, responsive service aligned with real-world constraints.

Our purpose is clear: to support those who shape plant-based design with passion, by providing solutions that match their ambitions.

4. A recognition you would like to give within your industry?

We would like to salute the artisans, decorators and plant designers who elevate the material and reinvent the place of plants in our living spaces.

Their attention to detail, sensitivity and technical mastery help move the industry forward and fuel our inspiration every day.

5. What message would you share with future professionals in the sector?

Believe in the value of your profession: it brings together nature, technique, sensitivity and creativity. Plants offer an infinite field of expression—provided you dare to bring your own personality to it.

To those entering our professions, we say: dare to create, explore, experiment. Every project is an encounter between the hand, the material and imagination—and that alchemy is what makes our industry so rich.
