Stef Adrienssens is a passionate teacher who has inspired many people. By involving students in his main floristic projects , he managed to raise them to a very high level. His work is characterized by his adherence to strict lines and a sense of form, colour and proportion. Nature became his inexhaustible source of inspiration. " Beyond Imagination " is not a monograph in the full sense of the word, but a book of projects ,  implemented by Stef and his team, a product of the Master and his students!

How would you celebrate 25 years in the floristry business?  Perhaps you would have a party?  Some might hold a dinner party but in the case of Belgian designer, Stef Adriaenssens, he decided to produce a book together with an exhibition in conjection with over 40 invited florists.  His book is entitled Beyond Imagination and in fact that sums up rather well his style of work which is, quite simply, fabulous!

In effect this is a retrospective combined with new work and the result is a highly effective collection of dsigns.  Stef is a man who has fought his way through ill health and throughout it all he has managed to produce some of the most original and outstanding work around. 

International floral designer, teacher and author of the European Floral Design Education (EFDE) and the European Floral Design Master Education (EFDME) .

The manner to which Stef approaches different forms of art in his floral projects can surely be called ground-breaking. Thanks to a good cooperation with likeminded artists from other art disciplines, he creates synergy.  The unique installations and floral/plant designs of Adriaenssens look almost like installations in modern art museums. Blending the unexpected with classical shapes and clean lines, his work is genuine art. Adriaenssens began his path as a floral artist when he was a child, fascinated by his parents’ flower shop. He honed his style after his work with various floral art magazines brought him into contact with a broad range of professionals.
