New York-based designer, Collin Abraham of Pollen Nation Events & Floral has amassed an impressive clientele, which turns to the organically cultivated firm time and again for all of its floral, décor, and event planning needs. The loyalty is well deserved. Under the leadership of founder Collin Abraham, Pollen Nation’s design team has mastered the ability to capture each client’s individuality, and combine it with the right elements of style, color, and flavor to create exceptional designs with a common thread. Bringing together his clients’ global sensibilities and his own West Indian heritage, Abraham and his team have drawn on a variety of sources for inspiration. Thus, artistry, history, and a great use of color meet the fundamentals and simplicity of modern design, giving way to a fresh take on the classic. By taking the time to truly learn each client, Pollen Nation guarantees the ability to exceed client expectations each and every time, regardless of the project, occasion or season. After nearly ten years of satisfied customers and rave reviews, Pollen Nation’s success remains rooted in a commitment to excellence at every turn.
From the legendary “White Parties” hosted by music and fashion impresario Sean “P-Diddy” Combs in the Hamptons, to the comfortable elegant theme of Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club, not to mention the magnificent wedding of Jay-Z & Beyonce’, seasonal floral & home decor that reflect the refinement of Island Def Jam Chairman Antonio “LA” Reid, Pollen Nation has redefined concepts of style for a generation of countless urban socialites. Yet while the firm’s original client list comes from the world of Hip-Hop, it has grown to include former President’s Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, The Four Seasons Hotel, HBO, NASCAR, Escada, Morgan Stanley, Russell & Kimora Lee Simmons, The Rachel Ray Show, The Wendy Williams Show and Sprint, LLC. Collin attributes his company’s success to passion and creativity. “I had no clue it would reach this level,” says the former police officer and sound engineering student. “I’ve learned that it’s all about loving what you do, and giving your clients an unexpected variety of looks and ideas.”
With its foundation set and an impeccable reputation around its home base, Pollen Nation now turns to the future, hoping to create a more global presence. In addition to two New York storefronts, one in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan; a new Edgewater, NJ location is set to open in early 2009. The new store will not only offer clients the opportunity to visualize and create their projects in consultation with Pollen Nation’s expert creative designers. It will offer design accents beyond floral arrangements, including artifacts, aromatherapy, and exclusive furniture pieces. With plans to eventually expand to Los Angeles, CA and South Beach, FL, Collin Abraham looks forward to infusing Pollen Nation with new flavor, maintaining the effortless flow in design, and continuing to strive for excellence. |
