On November 7th and 8th, Mobach Ceramics in Utrecht is hosting open houses. Especially for this occasion, floral designers Florian Seyd and Ueli Signer of The Wunderkammer and their team have completely transformed the Mobach showroom into a wonderful fairytale forest. They masterfully incorporated a wide variety of orchids into unique, handmade ceramic designer vases. You are very welcome to visit Mobach, Kanaalweg 24 in Utrecht, to admire Mobach’s stunning ceramics combined with nature’s jewels: the orchid.

 

 

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.”

 

Factory tour

While Mobach is normally open to business clients, this weekend it’s open to everyone. A wonderful opportunity to visit the unique artisanal workshop, factory, and museum of the highest quality ceramics. Watch them work the wheel, see how Mobach designs are formed, and admire the beauty of Mother Nature in the showroom. A fairytale forest to admire the beautiful ceramic designs and smell, see, and experience the orchids. If you want to take a deep breath and find inspiration this weekend, this is the place to be.

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.

A dining table full of colour

The dining table is a place where you gather with loved ones. A place that, especially during the holidays, deserves extra attention and decoration! And what better way to do that than with orchids in warm, cheerful colours? For example, create smaller groups by dividing the plants into different bowls and sorting them by color. This creates a nice distribution across the table, while still allowing you to see each other.
