Coastal wall art at its most essential is an ivory rose on a white wall — the combination that has appeared in formal interiors for centuries, in every period of decorative art that valued restraint and botanical form simultaneously. The Ivory Rose is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Coastal Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in an ivory glaze, shaped in the English rose form — full, layered, the cultivated rose form that botanical breeders have been working toward since the 17th century and that reads as the most specifically considered version of what a rose is allowed to be.

The Coastal Collection's most classic piece in the only color it could be

Chive designed the Coastal Collection between 2017 and 2020 for the neutral palette that committed white-wall people want — the ivory and white range that reads as deliberately chosen rather than decoratively safe. An ivory rose on a white wall is the Coastal Collection at its most classical: the English rose form in the warm neutral that makes white walls read as intentional surfaces rather than the default. Todd Newgren's own white walls have an ivory rose on them. SFMOMA carries the Coastal Collection.

SFMOMA carries the Coastal Collection. The Royal Ontario Museum stocks it. The Art Gallery of Ontario carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Art institutions from San Francisco to Toronto have independently decided this collection belongs in their gift shops. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.

A gift for the white-wall person who wants the Coastal Collection's essential classic

The Ivory Rose ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. SFMOMA carries it. The person with white walls receives the collection's most essential piece from the same collection an art institution chose.
