OLD ENGLISH A florist’s sense of magic NOT ONLY HAS HE GREEN FINGERS. CLAUS DALBY USED TO BE A MAGICIAN. AND HE HAS A WEAKNESS FOR CLASSIC ENGLISH GARDENING. “Many years ago I bought this antique flower trophy in England, which has been my favourite ever since if a bouquet should present itself from its best side. When Holmegaard called, I never doubted which way we should go.” The transparent lightness, supported by the foot, puts the flowers on a pedestal. The narrow waist gathers the stems, while the spacious bowl provides room for the bouquet to unfold. Old English is designed to bring out the best in the flowers, making them stand out with grace and beauty. The Old English comes in two sizes and as a floor vase. The soft lines and curves are repeated in a series of flower bowls for bulbous plants or floating flower heads. This year, we continue the line with Solitaire vases in three heights for a single flower or more, a small flower bowl and a tea light bowl. CLAUS DALBY (1963) is an author, publisher, garden blogger, flower enthusiast, and the host of several television programs. Since 2014, he can add designer to his business card, as he began his collaboration with Holmegaard developing the Old English series of vases and flower bowls. 13
