One of the most well-known and commonly encountered problems facing designers is trying to hide the screw-heads from the surface of their work. The Flower-Power Screws are developed starting from the principle that nothing should be hidden and everything should be integrated (most particularly structural elements, since they are the very foundation of an object and the basis from which decoration can take hold to support itself).
Formally, the screw is a head, which a circle with an X is in is center, attached to a spiraling stem. These structural elements serve as the staring point, the basis for any further decorative variations on this theme. As it is, the screw already looks like a cartoon representation of a flower button. Taking the consequences of this idea further is like watching a flower blossoming.
Incisions are hand-carved at regular intervals through the head using the central X as the guiding measure. The result is a perfectly functional set of screws which looks more like a bundle of flowers. Hopefully, the next time a screw is needed, it will be seen more like a decorative opportunity rather than an unfortunate functional necessity.
