Flowing Shine, nestled in Seattle, is a hub of creativity driven by a love for nature-inspired living and exquisite craftsmanship. Our mission centers bring nature into indoor environments through good design and sustainable materials.
Operating under three distinct branches: furniture, flora container and craft class — our studio embodies a comprehensive approach to design and creation. Each branch stands independently while contributing to our holistic vision.
