“The beauty

of flowers,

inspired by its

painterly palette

of color and

texture, provides

a visual, and

an emotional,

experience

unlike any

other medium.”

NEOtropicalDare to explore a new wave of tropical adventure. Dramatic

lines, impact colors and unique flowers combine to intrigue

the spirit within and leads us on a mystical, tropical,

adventure. Big and bold yet minimal, the tropical colors and

the exotic flowers provide movement with strong lines to

take us on an evening of discovery and splendour.

Youthful explosion of colors in bright festive hues celebrates

the powerful message of youthful aspiration. Keep it simple,

keep it bright, show me the flowers that say ‘wow’. A look

guaranteed to astound any audience and make an

impression that will last forever. Colored glass, ceramic

containers and funky acrylics and wires reflects the pulse of

the GenY generation.

T IFFANYRefined modern elegance all in glorious white with touches

of the softest blues. Commanding, yet full of sleek feminine

style designed into the finest silver and glass containers. The

flowers are opulent, yet tasteful, and designed in mass

reflecting a contemporary European styling. Full of roses

and everything white, the Tiffany look leaves no space for

anything but refined elegance.

EAST WEST fusionClean, modern design lines linking the austere clarity

of the East with the decorative patterning of the West.

An organic and clean feel incorporating living plants

and neutral materials into the design. Green and clean

whites are the colors that provide the feeling of an

inspired nature. A touch of black or dark chocolate

provides foundation and strength. The style hints at

the possibility of recyclability and earth friendly roots.

Combination of clear glass, colored glass, pottery and

wood or bamboo branches to bridge the East and West.
