Spring transition

Two cylindrical vases filled with reed stems are a sustainable and
reusable alternative to floral foam.
Nerine, Chaenomeles, Hamamelis, French tulips, Fritillaria, and daffodils are arranged in this natural base. The
combination of transparent glass, linear structures, and fresh spring blooms creates an airy, contemporary look.

Surprising foundation

This unique arrangement focuses on the interplay between technology and natural materials. Orange carrots form the basis of the whole and are connected by 1.6 mm annealed wire. This creates a sturdy yet visually light structure. Poppies and Chaenomeles are placed directly in water between the carrots. The combination of edible materials with refined spring flowers creates an exciting contrast in color, texture, and shape.

This clamping technique keeps the stems exactly in place and ensures stability without the use of traditional floral foam.

Variation

This contemporary spring arrangement has a sturdy and decorative foundation: Codiaeum leaves are rolled up, glued, and tied with binding wire. The leaves are incorporated into test tubes of various sizes, which are assembled in an ascending shape.

This constructive basis creates a playful and airy floral image, in which different types of (fragrant) daffodils have been arranged. The variation in flower shape, height, and color—from fresh white to sunny yellow—reinforces the natural character of the arrangement. The structure provides rhythm and movement, while the scent and color experience bring the work to life.

Playful rhythm

An open, semi-circular structure of woven Salix branches forms the soft foundation of this bouquet. The natural lines enclose the flowers like a nest and create an airy, transparent shape. Inside, Clematis 'Kansas', Gloriosa 'Fifty Shades', French tulips, Cymbidium, Anthurium, Nerine, roses, and daffodils are bound in a loose, natural way. This creates a playful rhythm of color, texture, and shape. The technique supports the story: the daffodils have been pre-treated by allowing the stems to dry out. This neutralizes the mucus and allows the other flowers to last longer.

Intertwined

A traditional Typha weave forms a natural base that determines both shape and structure. The green grid functions as both a construction and a visual statement, into which the flowers are woven. Within this base, a bouquet has been composed of Cymbidium, French tulips, Gloriosa 'Fifty Shades', Clematis 'Kansas', poppies, daffodils, and 'Princess Akito' roses. Each flower has been chosen for its texture, lines, and characteristic shape. The alternation between petals, stems, and whimsical movements creates tension and rhythm.

Circular

Sunflower stems, usually waste material, were given a second life in this work as a structural basis. Brought together and bent, they form an open, circular support in which form and function coincide.

Clematis 'Kansas', Astrantia, Gloriosa 'Fifty Shades', Talinum 'Long John', Mimosa, and rose 'Princess Aikto' are incorporated loosely and airily into this natural structure. Fine textures and playful shapes alternate to reinforce the organic character. The reuse of materials not only gives the work a distinctive look, but also a sustainable story. What was once discarded is now the foundation: an aesthetic and conscious choice.
