Concept
Rhythm in Floral Design
The principle of controlled visual movement - the way the eye is led through a composition from one point of interest to the next.
“Rhythm is the principle most explicitly framed around the viewer's experience - the designer engineers an experience of movement, not merely arranges materials.”
Good rhythm takes the eye through the arrangement effortlessly; poor rhythm leaves a design looking static and boring. Curved lines have greater inherent rhythm than straight lines. Rhythm operates in three dimensions: recessing some flowers leads the eye into the depths of the arrangement. It is achieved through three principal tools - repetition, gradation, and line direction - and is the principle most explicitly framed around the viewer's experience.
