Biedermeier Reinvented

This elegant Biedermeier bouquet celebrates the classic circular form with a modern and sustainable approach. Built using concentric rings of carnations, each flower head carefully pierced with aluminium wire and arranged in a precise spiral pattern. The design has a richly textured, domed shape. Orchids and soft catkin stems add visual interest and contrast. The used technique pays homage to 19th-century German floral art. Placed in a clear glass vase with neatly tied stems, this bouquet is both decorative and environmentally conscious.

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.

Inspired

Inspired by the painting Still Life with Wild Strawberries (1705) by Adriaen Coorte, on display in the Mauritshuis in The Hague. The simple yet striking composition features a stacked arrangement of wild peaches (Prunus persica), interwoven with delicate tendrils of Duchesnea indica, placed in OASIS® Renewal Floral Foam. Its beauty lies in its simplicity and refined focus on form, enhanced by dramatic lighting – a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age still life painters.

In Harmony

This warm-toned arrangement was inspired by the classic Mobach vase, with colours drawn directly from its ceramic glaze. By working exclusively with warm hues, a dis
tinctly different mood emerges. The bold, full forms of Paeonia, Rosa, Chrysanthemum, Calendula, and Dahlia create a strong visual foundation, contrasted by the delicate, airy textures of Cotinus, Lathyrus, and Gloriosa. Key to achieving the sense of warmth and dimension is care
fully placed Viola, Paeonia, and Dahlia.
The arrangement was composed directly in the vase, without support materials.

Collection

This floral still life showcases a vibran t selection of late May blooms – sourced both from the wholesaler and the garden. The arrangement features an eclectic mix of striking forms and unique varieties. A bold base of complementary orange and blue gives the piece visual power and intensity, while softer tones of pink, lilac, apricot, and a hint of red add warmth and harmony. The result is a joyful, energetic composition, brought to life through dramatic lighting and strong contrasts of light and shadow.
The arrangement is constructed using OASIS® Renewal Floral Foam.

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.
