Minimalism
Inspired by the Japanese art of Ikebana, this refined composition follows the principle of 'less is more', showing respect for each individual material. A clear glass vase is filled exclusively with compostable elements. The flower stems are supported by an internal latticework of Cornus branches, creating a clean, elegant composition without the use of floral foam or wire. The design cleverly utilizes negative space, highlighting the unique beauty of each flower.
Personality
Aluminum wires are tied to a wooden base. These are knotted in a star shape with Cornus branches in between. A base of glued white hyacinth nails is made from the center – these extend over the entire frame. Flowers of Clematis Amazing Kansas are glued onto the frame.
Reflection
This bridal bouquet incorporates two botanical materials. The branches are made of pierced pieces of Cornus, connected into a new form using 1 mm aluminum wire. The branched twigs are bound in an open form, with Helleborus 'Mammoth Red' flowers glued to the ends.
Freestanding
The structure of Cornus branches appears to be floating and very light. To achieve this effect, black pokes (1.8 mm) are drilled into a weathered block of wood, and the Cornus branches are speared onto the pokes. The whole is strengthened by connecting each Cornus stem to each other in at least three places with binding wire and piercing them with pieces of black pokes. The flowers, Papaver, Clematis Amazing Kansas, Tulipa, Ranunculus, are placed only at the top so that the structure is shown to its best advantage and the whole looks elegant.
Back to nature
A beautifully robust slate container is filled with Oasis Terra Brick. Many different special types of flowers have been incorporated, placed as they naturally grow from the earth. A beautiful mix of French tulips, orchids, Cambria, Ludisia, Cornus, Talinum 'Long John', Osmunda fern curl, Ranunculus, and Nerine are incorporated here. All materials are biodegradable and can return to nature.
Purple freedom
On Liberation Day (May 5), we celebrate freedom and commemorate the power of hope and resilience. In this arrangement, green-yellow dogwood branches, Cornus 'Flaviramea', are bundled vertically in a vase. A powerful symbol of stability and growth. The purple Scabiosa 'Dark Cherry' blooms from the branches, as a sign of freedom and the unfolding of new possibilities. Together they tell the story of a future built on strength, connection, and hope.
