We Preserve Nature’s Distinctive Forms.
Shin Ota
Founder / CEOWe work with real plants as natural materials.
Through botanical preservation, we seek to retain their distinctive forms and textures for longer.
No two botanical forms are exactly alike. Each leaf carries traces of the life it has lived.
Rather than imposing our own idea of perfection on nature, we observe the beauty already present and explore ways to make it visible.
I find possibility in nature’s irregular forms and unpredictable beauty.
At Mille Plateaux, we work with a wide range of plants, including introduced species, seeking to preserve their forms and inspire new ways of seeing nature.

Nature is not perfect. And that is where beauty begins.
Mille Plateaux is rooted in the idea that nature exists in layers—
unpredictable, diverse, and always in motion.
We preserve not to control, but to reveal.
Each piece is a quiet dialogue between time, material, and perception.
