For Lexus Canada's Takumi Keiken — a VVIP experiential evening celebrating the brand's 35th anniversary in Canada — Salt XC commissioned Studio Foliage to design a botanical tablescape and four statement installations for key areas of the event.

The creative framework: the four Lexus brand pillars, each one asking to be given a living, artistic form.

These weren't vague moods to interpret freely. Our challenge was to find the botanical equivalent of precision engineering, of iridescent innovation, of craft passed down through generations — and then transpose it into living art.

‎
Every brand pillar got its own material logic, developed entirely in-house and brought to Salt XC as a complete Creative Direction proposal.

Natural geometry for the Spindle Grille. Wood for Shimamoku. High-detailed hand labour for Takumi Mastery. And for Structural Blue, custom hand-painted anthuriums — iridescent, colour-matched to Lexus's signature, inspired by the morpho butterfly's gradient from deep to pale.
