In Harmony
This warm-toned arrangement was inspired by the classic Mobach vase, with colors 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.
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 color 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.
Playful contrasts
A half square of brown painted insulation material is covered with Cotinus leaves in a roof tile pattern – which dries nicely. All
leaves are folded in half just above the vein – the horizontal vein line remains visible – and attached with double-sided tape.
The covered shape is placed in an iron frame, with narrow, vertical lines created in the square shape using unlacquered thick iron wire
on which squares of dried cobra leaf are glued. As a contrast, a wavy structure of dark brown rustic wire is
secured horizontally. The orchids, Aristolochia tendrils, Clematis fluff, and some greenish-yellow aspen
leaves (Populus alba) hang in this structure. The colors of the other materials are reflected in the Vanda orchids, mirroring the outdoor atmosphere
of autumn-winter. ‘Clear contrasts always work well in an arrangement: such as open-closed, light-dark, living-dead.’
Wonderfully exuberant
This exuberant bouquet in this distinctive vase features, among other things, Callicarpa bodinieri, Amaranthus ‘Red Velvet’, smoke bush (Cotinus ‘Royal Purple’), and Clematis Amazing Star River. For this purpose, a small wreath of Oasis sec is covered with bark and moss and then glued to the vase. The flowers are inserted into the vase through this.
The beautiful warm shades of lilac, purple, pink, and red fit well with the
exuberant color schemes of this winter.
