Typical Marsano
Annett explains: "There is no typical hierarchy in the way in which we combine flowers. We break the rules in the way in which we create floral arrangements, but as always, you need to know the rules before you break them. We do things that you don’t expect, whereby you always have to look twice, led by our combination of structures, fragrances, colours and styles."
The four interior styles according to Annett and the Marsano team are shown below, where she uses flowers, plants and unusual accessories to complete the style.
Style 1: Metal & lavish greenery
In this style Annett combines various structures and shapes that are familiar to all of us, but with a different look. Think of a suitcase, but then copper coloured, a golden pineapple and an oversized safety pin. The hard green tones of flowers and plants such as viburnum and ferns are essential for this style to work. The gleaming materials are balanced by the succulent textures.
Style 2: Tropical spring
Here Annett uses exotic flowers alongside typical seasonal flowers, such as strelitzias with tulips. She has placed them in vintage vases which she has collected on her travels. In the background you can see a cushion from the Marsano Limited Edition on the right, and on the left, a cushion from a Berlin designer who collects vintage scarves from the 50s and 60s and transforms them into cushions.
Style 3: 'Museum of natural history' in your home
In this style Annett combines vases by Jacob Raeder from New York - winner of Rietveld Academie Prize Amsterdam - with bell jars. A bell jar like this makes the object that you place under it special and unique. The fabulous dark flowers in vases? They’re called Scabiosa.
Style 4: Romantic Sixties
Teak, carnations and ceramic vases: all ingredients for a typical sixties interior style. In order to make a link between the fragrance of the tuberosa and carnations, Annett has included Chinese soap that she brought back from her travels as decoration.
