François Hannes will unveil the Orchid Twister, an etagere plant stand specially developed for the orchid, at lifestyle fair Excellent Wonen & Leven Beurs in Rotterdam. “The Orchid Twister suits all types of rooms, and ensures that orchids are given a special place indoors. Everyone has one or more orchids at home, but the Orchid Twister makes them stand out even more inside”, said Hannes. Hannes is showing a true Masterpiece, built around all five Orchid Twisters. His Masterpiece is a one-off creation that can only be admired at the Rotterdam lifestyle fair.

The Orchid Twister can be arranged differently depending on the room. This modern interior accessory comes in five colours, from stained oak to black piano lacquer and white gloss. The Orchid Twister can be personalised in a creative fashion. Its adjustable shape and the range of pots, accessories and orchids allow for a wide variety of combinations.

François Hannes’ design brings nature even more inside, creating a surprising picture. Hannes is renowned for his Chapter 1 style door by Bod’or and the interior design of Michelin-starred restaurant De Treeswijkhoeve. François Hannes about his Masterpiece: “It has completely different proportions than a single Orchid Twister, even though all the different Twisters are clearly visible in the design.”

Following the end of the Excellent Home & Living show the pot orchids were donated to the Rotterdam foodbank, complete with the beautiful pots. All the Netherlands’ pot orchid growers joined forces under the title ‘Art of Life’, and they wanted to put the spotlight on those who do not have the money to afford a nice plant and give them a treat.
