The exhibition features a stack of lounge cushions embroidered with the names of 17th-century tulips. On top of that lies a spherical, 8 cm diameter, green 'pea' made of green glass beads with a shimmering effect. Edited photographs taken by Regula adorn the walls. A photo of pea plants reveals a greenish, round, pea-like felt cushion. There are photos where pea tendrils are embroidered. In a photo with circular, perforated openings, blue paper stars are visible, placed on a layer of white, ribbed Japanese paper—a charming work, beautiful to hang against the light. Finnish motifs inspire woven cushions. These feature large glass peas, blown at the National Glass Museum's Glassworks, wrapped in crocheted copper wire and adorned with chickpea necklaces. A delicate necklace of glass peas hangs, blown by instrument maker Edwin Diepraam in collaboration with Regula.
The combination of materials is free, open, and unexpected; Regula's imagination is historically and geographically boundless. His love of nature is also limitless. Moreover, a sense of "craziness" is always palpable, as previously in the comprehensive, ongoing project of the "Crowns" for the "Vices" from Erasmus's "Praise of Folly."
Regula Maria Müller and Floris Ebinger, son and chef, published a book at the end of 2025 featuring images by Regula and recipes by Floris, titled "Around the Pea." Titled "The Landscape of My Heart," it refers to the exhibition in Tokyo 2025, curated by Toshiya Kobayashi.
