Flowers can be a design material, and floral creations often carry a beautiful natural charm. Dutch florist Andreas Verheijen calls himself a flower engineer, a title that makes sense as soon as you see his work. His creations are extraordinary and can look almost unreal. The talented florist develops unusual hybrid plants and floral arrangements for surprising compositions. His botanical works are suitable for celebrations, weddings, exhibitions, window displays, and other unusual settings.
Unusual hybrid plants and floral arrangements
How does he do it? Verheijen treats plant material the way a sculptor treats marble, wood, or clay. He reveals the sculptural beauty of a palm branch, creates hair-like forms from feathers and moss, and carves pumpkins into sensual works of art. His Engineering series explores the creation of flowers rather than traditional flower arranging. The hybrid pieces are not only proposals for new varieties; they also function as a laboratory for shape, color, and texture in a broader sense than the flower industry usually allows.
Hybrid plants and flowers by Andreas Verheijen
After years of experience in the flower department at Harrods, Verheijen decided to build his own practice. With a title as distinctive as flower engineer and a remarkable talent, little seems to stand in his way. His work moves beyond conventional floristry, and he is invited to events, shows, and exhibitions where audiences can see his art. The master florist was born in Zundert in the Netherlands and now works as a freelance floral designer in Europe.
