A celebration of flowers
With great pleasure and dedication, we have put together this special edition of DPK Floral Magazine for the World Cup Floral Art. We are pleased and proud to present the World Cup Floral Art 2025 Edition, packed with fascinating and inspiring articles. What to expect. A brief preview.
An important highlight of this special edition is the presentation of all participating designers. In our "Meet the Participants" article series, you will find interviews with all 24 World Cup participants, accompanied by beautiful visual impressions of their floral artworks. This way you can discover whose work appeals to you the most.
Verder presenteren we ‘Masterpieces Reimagined’, waarin bloemsierkunstenaars Hanneke Frankema en Max van de Sluis de beroemde geschilderde bloemstillevens uit de Nederlandse Gouden Eeuw tot leven brengen met prachtige en inspirerende hedendaagse arrangementen. Masterpieces Reimagined is een ode aan bloemsierkunst, waarin geschiedenis en innovatie samenkomen.
Duurzaamheid speelt een cruciale rol tijdens de wedstrijd en is een essentieel beoordelingscriterium. In de speciale rubriek ‘Floristry in Transition: Sustainable Floral Design’ geven de gerenommeerde bloemontwerpers Per Benjamin en Max van de Sluis tal van inspiratie en praktische tips voor het gebruik van duurzame grondstoffen en technieken, die vooral geschikt zijn voor bloemisten die zich richten op toekomstgerichte werkwijzen. Zoals Max van de Sluis zegt: ‘Als je je eenmaal bewust wordt van de impact van je materialen, gaat er echt een wereld voor je open.
Finally, we offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at GROWTH! the theatrical floral life show by Hanneke Frankema, European champion floral designer, which takes place during the final night. Here, too, sustainability is the focus. This new experience in floral design promises to be an adventurous journey full of innovation, emotion and flowers.
In addition to the free magazine available at the venue, this special World Cup Floral Art 2025 edition is also available online through our website, as are all other editions of DPK Floral Magazine Magazine. In addition, the online magazine is available in multiple languages, making it accessible worldwide. Visit dpkfloralmagazine.com regularly for the latest news!
Together with all visitors, we are eagerly looking forward to the exciting denouement of the Floral Art World Cup. I wish all participants the best of luck and in a few days we will find out who will win the coveted title of Floral Art World Champion in the coming years.
