From 18 to 23 April, hundreds of orchids will decorate the Dutch pavilion Masterly, during the international design fair Salone del Mobile in Milan. Masterly is the showcase of Dutch design and is located in the Palazzo Giureconsulti, a stone’s throw from the Duomo. Orchid Netherlands has once again been selected to exhibit a rich assortment of the highest quality Dutch orchids. That orchids and design go together perfectly becomes clear as soon as you enter.

 

 

The power of contrast

In the classic white décor of the palace, orchids (arranged by Sand and Spijker in Delft) strongly attract attention, complimenting the design pieces in the room. Hundreds of long-lasting orchids are incorporated in no fewer than four metre-high installations with Elho baskets, and in arrangements with classic Royal Delft porcelain vases. The presentation of a rich assortment of Phalaenopsis and exclusive orchids impressively adds colour and life to the iconic Palazzo Giureconsulti.

 

 

Orchids and design: a perfect match

Not only does the Netherlands offer excellence in art and design, but also in orchids. They are works of art from nature that can be enjoyed for a long time. That’s why curator and initiator of Masterly Nicole Uniquole, once again chose orchids as part of the exhibition. “The concept of Masterly showcases art and design. Traditionally, floral artists were a source of inspiration, so the orchid cannot be missing from Dutch design. The modern, elegant orchid is like an ornament with a story for your interior,” says Nicole Uniquole.

 

 

Orchids for Milan

As orchids have a much longer shelf life than the week of the exhibition, all plants are traditionally distributed on the last day of the event. This is a huge success every year. In large numbers, residents of Milan come to the distribution moment to receive the orchids with open arms and enjoy them at home for a long time to come.

For the first time, the exquisite beauty of orchids is seen at Maison et Objet design fair in Paris, adding a touch of nature’s artistry to this design and lifestyle exhibition. Floral designers Florian Seyd and Ueli Signer, from The Wunderkammer, skillfully incorporated a big variety of orchids into the stands of Mobach Ceramics and the Italian design powerhouse Abhika. Their work seamlessly merged the natural elegance of orchids with innovative design, creating an experience that was as enchanting as it was inspiring.

 

 

Orchids and design: a perfect match

Orchids and design are a perfect combination. Their unique shapes and vibrant colors add a touch of elegance to any creative display. This isn’t the first time orchids have been in the spotlight at a design event. They were also featured at Milan Design Week and Dutch Design Week, where they proved how well they complement modern art and design.

 

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.

 

Shared passion for patterns and shapes

 

 

This year, 30 inspiring flower shows will constitute a major part of the Keukenhof garden in Lisse, the Netherlands. The orchid-idea show in the Beatrix Pavilion is the largest in Europe, in which many Dutch orchid growers exhibit their most beautiful plants.

Behold the immense chandelier with its decorative green Cymbidiums, or sit in front of a bench of Phalaenopsis. Try on the high-fashion dress embellished with Paphiopedilum and admire the florid necklace. The plentiful vases, overflowing with the most exotic types of orchids, complete the picture of the extensive orchid family.

Voting by a professional panel of judges and visitors 
A professional panel of judges will select the most beautiful plant of the orchid-idea show as the winner of the Keukenhof Award. Visitors can also express their views by choosing their favourite orchid from among the many varieties on display.

Nespresso is a coffee-making system developed by Nestlé. The name is a blend of the company name and the word ‘espresso’. Special limited edition coffee varieties are offered every year. Nespresso recently launched three new grand crus (coffee varieties) at the editorial offices of Sanoma and Hearst. Each grand cru was presented in its own mood room, furnished with orchids in the same colour as the new capsule.

The smell of coffee is delicious, and triggers a particular attitude and mood. The use of orchids in the same colour as the new capsules reinforced the appropriate mood and attitude for each individual grand cru. The mood rooms were admired by more than 40 editorial staff from media such as Libelle, VT Wonen, Margriet, Flair, Viva, Marie Claire, Elle Wonen, Cosmopolitan, Nouveau and  Santé.

With everything that teachers have to cope with nowadays, they deserve more appreciation than they get. We expect them to teach our children with enthusiasm and passion every day. Let’s support them by marking this for once. The ‘Top Marks for the Teacher’ campaign urges parents to encourage their child to take a bouquet or plant to school for their teacher as a sign of this appreciation.

This social objective fits with Unesco’s ‘Teachers’ Day’ initiative, which takes place on 7 October this year. Which is why the organisers of ‘Top Marks for the Teacher’ have opted for this date. “So give you child a bouquet or plant to bring to school for the teacher on 7 October. That will show teachers the appreciation they deserve!” The organisers feel that flowers and plants are the perfect gift for expressing appreciation. “Flowers and plants are generally placed in the best spot, and you need to look after these products well. Teachers deserve the same! So we would pose this challenge to all parents and children: teach your children about appreciation and how to express it. Make your teacher happy with a bouquet or a plant or just a nice drawing. It will brighten everyone’s day.”
