From 8 to 13 April, the Dutch pavilion Masterly will light up the heart of Milan with a lush orchid installation. During the world-renowned Milan Design Week, Masterly serves as the ultimate stage for top-level Dutch design – and this year, orchids are blooming once again in the historic Palazzo Giureconsulti, just steps away from the iconic Duomo.

 

Highest quality Dutch orchids at Masterly

Orchidee Nederland has once again been selected to showcase a spectacular and diverse range of the highest quality Dutch orchids. From the moment visitors enter, it’s clear: design and orchids are a perfect match.

 

 

The power of contrast

Set against the palace’s classical white backdrop, the floral arrangements – crafted by Sand en Spijker from Delft – immediately catch the eye. Hundreds of long-flowering Phalaenopsis and exclusive orchid varieties are featured in a towering installation, beautifully enhanced by custom lighting from Aptum Lighting. Together, they breathe colour, elegance and life into this historic building.

 

Orchids at Dekker and Signify Lighting Design

New this year is a collaboration with kitchen and bathroom specialist Dekker Zevenhuizen – known for creating top-quality, custom-made, and eco-friendly countertops – and Signify Lighting Design – presenting revolutionary 3D-printed lighting. During Milan Design Week, the orchids will adorn the impressive joint presentation by Dekker and Signify Lighting Design.

 

 

A Milanese tradition in full bloom

What makes the experience even more special: on the final day of the event (13 April), the orchids will be handed out to the people of Milan – a cherished tradition that draws large crowds each year. Locals line up eagerly to receive a beautiful orchid to take home and enjoy long after the event ends.

Orchids: juwels of nature

Floral designer Florian Seyd is a great orchid enthusiast. “The Oncidium Cherry Baby orchid is a fantastic orchid. Not only because it’s incredibly beautiful, but it also has an incredibly delicious vanilla scent. So, the fun of orchids isn’t just about the beautiful flowers, but if you zoom in on the different orchid varieties, you’ll discover different scents, textures, and tall and short varieties. And with this form, you’ll enjoy the color and the fragrance.”

The orchid is increasingly appearing beyond the windowsill. Once known primarily as an elegant houseplant, this flower is now making frequent appearances in the worlds of interior design, fashion, and beauty. A recent example? The luxury makeup brand Victoria Beckham Beauty has launched an eyeshadow palette called “Orchid,” inspired by the soft purple and lilac tones we associate with this remarkable flower.

Romance, refinement and timeless elegance

According to founder Victoria Beckham, the palette is all about romance, refinement, and timeless elegance — precisely the qualities that have made orchids so beloved in design for years. Think of their graceful shapes, velvety colors, and luxurious appearance. It is no wonder that stylists and designers see the orchid as a symbol of modern femininity and subtle glamour.

From October 18th to 26th, orchid growers and lighting design studio Aptum will present the exhibition “In Full Bloom” during Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. Aptum, known for its unique and custom lighting designs, transformed its studio into a blooming orchid-filled environment especially for this event. The result is a colorful botanical indoor garden surrounded by geometrically shaped lighting fixtures. This collaborative creation was unveiled for the first time during Dutch Design Week.

 

Floral Exhibition “In Full Bloom”

As a source of inspiration for many designers, orchids are the perfect complement to the world of design. For years, the plants have been part of Masterly – the showcase for Dutch design during Milan Design Week. At this event, Aptum and Orchids Info discovered their shared passion for vibrant, bright colors and expressive patterns and shapes. This mutual fascination led to a natural cross-pollination, resulting in a floral exhibition “In Full Bloom” during Dutch Design Week for the second year in a row.

 

 

Blooming Courtyard

The result was a colorful and flourishing courtyard that followed the architectural lines of Aptum’s monumental building. Hundreds of unique flowers in a rich palette of colors bathed in the daylight filtering through the large skylight above the garden. The orchids were surrounded by geometrically shaped light objects, inviting visitors to pause for a moment and experience the beauty of nature and design.

 

 

‘In Full Bloom’ can be seen during Dutch Design Week until October 26, 2025, at location No. G9, APTUM | NRE, Gashouder 13, 5613 CR Eindhoven. More information is available at www.ddw.nl.

From 19 to 27 October, Orchids Info and APTUM will present the exhibition ‘In Full Bloom’ during Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. APTUM, known for their unique and custom-made lighting designs, has created artworks highlighting the versatility of orchids especially for this event. This collaboration, born from a shared fascination with vibrant colours and expressive shapes, results in an enchanting floral wall and sculptural light objects. The exhibition is on display at APTUM’s studio, Gashouder 13.
