Wrapped

In this design, numerous glass test tubes in varying sizes have been individually wrapped in ultra-thin wood veneer, then joined together to mirror the shape of the gold-toned bowl by Ecri Living. Flowers are inserted directly into water-filled tubes, ensuring hydration without floral foam. The result is a decorative base made entirely from botanical and reusable materials – perfect for sustainable design and versatile for future use across different styles and settings.

Lush

This arrangement, set in a modern tulip vase by Mobach, evokes the lush abundance of Dutch Golden Age still lifes while embracing a contemporary aesthetic. Large, open blooms are arranged in rich variety, with a striking colour gradient that flows from deep purples through pinks to peach, fuch
sia, red, and even a touch of orange. These vibrant hues mirror the unique glaze of the vase, creating a cohesive and expressive composition. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the luxurious mood, giving this modern still life both depth and drama.

Tuned

An antique, hand-painted vase with a floral motif serves as both a vase and a source of inspiration. The flowers were carefully selected to echo the vase’s colour palette and floral forms, creating a seamless visual harmony between container and composition. Max made his selection from a large collection of flowers with minimal repetition: ‘A collection of beauty that we continue to discover’. Inspired by the rich contrasts often seen in classic floral still lifes, he paired purple and blue hues with earthy browns and nude tones to create a striking cool–warm contrast, further enhanced by dramatic photography. The arrangement was composed directly in the vase, without support materials.
