Fall in Maple Lines
Anyone looking for images of fall will quickly come across the familiar maple leaf. Hanneke didn’t use real leaves, but 3D-printed ones in two sizes. They are mounted on cappuccino-colored aluminum wire and together form branching lines. A metal pin stands on a wooden block, mechanically wrapped in bouillon wire. Attached to it is a frame of dried, black Cornus branches, with dried licorice serving as a warm brown accent. The fresh flowers are arranged in tubes: germini, calla, Nepenthes, rose, carnation, and Phalaenopsis. The long-lasting arrangement can be refilled after use.
Compact with lanterns
This compact version uses the same technique and materials as the large lantern installation, but in a smaller size and with fewer flowers. As a result, the arrangement requires fewer materials and is more affordable. Hanneke recommends preparing such pieces in batches during quiet moments: the initial setup takes time, but repetition speeds up the process. The reusable frame can then be refilled time and time again. In the store, she displayed the small versions individually and as a set, alongside a larger eye-catching piece that drew attention to the entire series.
Lanterns as eye-catchers
With its generous size, this arrangement is intended to be an eye-catcher in the store window. Dried lanterns remained in stock for a long time at Hanneke’s and were a popular item in fall displays. Here, they are mounted on 1-millimeter brown aluminum wire, so they can be positioned precisely within the composition and reused later. The bowl rests on a large pin with dried roots; this base is also reusable. The fresh flowers are arranged in tubes, though Oasis can also be used effectively in a plastic bowl. Crimson berries, chrysanthemums, fruits, and lanterns set the autumnal tone. Phalaenopsis, germini, Alocasia leaves, roses, vines, and Nepenthes add other shapes and lines.
Small 3D version
The mini version follows the same principle as the large 3D pen bouquet: an open, reusable base that provides direction and stability for the flowers. Because of its smaller size, fewer materials are needed, and the arrangement can be put together more quickly. Frankema sees opportunities to produce the frames in advance in batches and in various colors. Here, the construction has been applied as a bouquet, but the same technique can also serve as the basis for a vase arrangement. This creates room for different sizes, applications, and price points within a single, recognizable design principle.
3D Fall Bouquet
The base of this bouquet was drawn with a 3D pen on a dish lined with aluminum foil. Two separate dish shapes were stacked on top of each other, creating a three-dimensional frame. The openings guide the placement of the flower stems and give the bouquet structure without requiring many extra flowers. The two-tone filament complements the fall color palette. Cranberry, chrysanthemum, Phalaenopsis, germini, Alocasia leaves, rose, and various vines fill the frame. The reusable base is also ideal for rotating corporate arrangements.
Flowers in a lamp frame
The base of this bouquet is a 3D-printed lamp structure that is assembled from separate parts. The open structure provides space to position the stems precisely between the parts and allows for a unique arranging technique. The frame is reusable and can be printed in various colors, tailored to the season or choice of flowers. For this arrangement, Frankema chose crimson berries, chrysanthemums, Phalaenopsis, Germini Chocoloco, roses, and Passiflora vines. The flower forms and vines flow through the geometric structure.
