At the World Flower Garden Show 2015 Dr Solomon’s floral design “Floral Paradise in Lines” won a Gold award in this prestigious International Floral Design event!

 

Held in Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki, Japan, the World Flower Garden Show is one of the largest flower and garden shows in the world. Every year the event invites top floral designers from all continents for special floral and garden displays, as well as the international floral design contest. In 2015, the organiser invited 14 designers from around the world to participate in this renowned competition.

 

Dr Solomon shared his thoughts on his approach to his award winning arrangement. "For me paradise is a space of calm and peace. It is a space where we can fully appreciate the movement in flowers, accept and enjoy them as they come, and their natural charm and aesthetics."

​

He gives more insight into the piece itself.  “Set against two blank white walls that offer infinite possibilities, our gentle and linear composition offers a dreamscape of flowers which is both a living paradise and an installation with a soul.”

 

Expanding on the concept for this spectacular installation, he finally added:  “ I have made use of  lines as a design element to create a sense of lightness and serenity, where flowers and their surroundings can merge into a seamless whole”. 

 

This is actually the second time that Dr. Solomon has won in this prestigious flower show. In 2014 he also won a Gold medal as well as the ‘Best Use of Colour’ Award.
