Porta Nova sponsored the opening of the Dutch Pavilion
The Opening of the Dutch Pavilion during the largest technical fair in the world was had a nice floral ring to it.
Holland Branding asked Flowerfactor to design afloral opening ceremony that involved Mark Rutte and Angela Merkel.
Pim van den Akker-Pimdesigned and Yuri Verbeek and the hole team created a unique "technical" moment with flowers and food. Over 2000 flowers were used from Dutch quality flower growers. The flowers came from Porta Nova, Anco pure Vanda, Holstein Flowers, and Deliflor Chrysanten.
With 500 "Supra" Red Naomi roses, Porta Nova was the main floral contributer.
2 massive flower walls were created and a "Technical" copper design is filled with beautiful flowers! The wall were movable and hidden by country flags from The Netherlands and Germany.
After Mark Rutte and Angela Merkel "unlocked" the flags with Orange tulips, the flags moved and the walls slided to the side to side to reveal the technical copper floral design.
With more than 200 Press, Photographers, tv stations and a lot of VIP guests it was a special ceremony.
