Soon after it trained the spotlight on local blooms and materials sourced from the motherland herself, Dave Sandoval Floral Atelier launches a fresh take on flowers and greens that celebrate the very pillars of the Filipino home – our dads.
Using Irog’s unique, all-Filipino concept, the distinguished floral atelier pays tribute to hardworking fathers with a special product that symbolizes every tatay, amang and papa’s hard work and devotion to family.
In place of colorful blooms, the masculine and elegant arrangement comes in rustic baskets that are brimming with a variety of potted plants such as succulents and orchids. “Green is in these days and since we’re trying to honor our fathers, we wanted something more streamlined, more masculine and in some ways, more practical,” says Dave, citing the growing popularity of gardening nowadays.
True enough, these Irog plant boxes could very well usher in a new hobby for dads, too. Each plant can be re-potted and grown, making them lasting markers for any special occasion that is being celebrated, all year-round.
Keeping in line with Dave Sandoval’s elegant aesthetic and Irog’s homegrown concept, the baskets used are made from abaca woven by craftsmen in Albay, while all the plants are locally grown. To top it all off, the piece comes with an iconic gold jeepney that evokes not just masculine style, but true Filipino innovation – along with every father’s undeterred drive.
Aside from being an ode to our fathers, Dave notes that “Irog” also helps support local flower farmers and artisans, who find themselves in constant competition with international suppliers. “In our own way we also wish to honor our local craftsmen and farmers we partner with, and the fathers who inspire creativity in them,” concludes Dave.
While they may sound like an ideal Father’s Day gift, these new father boxes from Irog will be available even long after June after 23, making them perfect for any occasion you may be celebrating for the men in your life – for as long as supplies last!
