FIORE VIGILANTE
Katie Vigilante is the principal designer of Fiore Vigilante which she founded in 2022. Initially creating fresh floral arrangements, noted for their distinctive design, she turned to arranging dried flowers she had painted with fresh arrangements.
In 2023, just after losing her mother to Alzheimer's disease, the roof of Katie’s studio collapsed. Though both devastated Katie, she immersed herself in her creative work, and began painting branches given to her by friends.
In 2024, back in the studio, she created the LUSH line (LOCAL UNIQUE SUSTAINABLE AND HASSLE-FREE) hand-painted floral sculptures for subscription, purchase, and commission. Her work is sustainable in both its permanence and responsible environmental and labor practices.
Her LUSH work has been commissioned in San Sebastian Spain, New York, and in several businesses and private homes in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
You’ll find Katie’s LUSH subscriptions in Van Michael, Faced Facial Studios, Presmanes Interiors, Urban Cottage, and more.
She is represented by Michael Habachy in his Atelier in Atlanta Decorative Arts Center (ADAC) where her work can be purchased from his stunning Atelier and showroom. His showroom is open to the trades and general public.
Her floral sculptures begin with the client, vessel, and space. These core principles drive color, composition, and overall design of the floral sculpture.
Fashion and Interior design are the inspiration for her work.
“Katie’s florals are unique, artistic, and thoughtful. She considers the space that they’re going in, and she makes a visual connection that is always pleasing and a bit surprising.”
