Putnam & Putnam

Teaches at New York Botanical Garden

From lavish opulence to pared-down restraint, Putnam & Putnam's highly customizable floral arrangements are uniquely tailored for every occasion. Founded in 2014 by Darroch and Michael Putnam, their namesake boutique has been the go-to for the discerning set. Since its inception, clients have drawn comparisons to to still-life paintings for their ability to express colors in unconventionally elegant palettes. Both artists in their own rights, Darroch and Michael are keenly aware of the spatial dynamics that come into play-be it an 2,500-person event space to a close crop of a table setting. 

Darroch, a photographer by trade, and Michael, a formally trained interior designer, strive to transform space for an experience that doesn't forgo the personal touches they've become synonymous with. Their signature designs meld site-specific drama with gentle precision, which have garnered the attention of clients like Bergdorfs, Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, among other countless clients. Ranging from the darker, muted palettes in the Dutch tradition to blinding neons looking to the future, Putnam & Putnam's neverending perspectives on color help pave a new narrative for every client.
