Stijn, We're told that you wouldn't be there. you've taught us to always believe in what we truly want. this year you will be with us once again at Alden Biesen . Your desired choice is fire, obviously. So we'll have a flower exhibition one last time with you, going all the way from the ground to the ceiling, taking the time to admire it, so that everyone present can gather your strength, your thrill of life, your determination and your spark. We've made our minds up mate: let's make one of your oldest dream comes true: burn Alden Biesen. This time you will be our flame! Your dream team


Stijn Loved the fire, we want to inflame this room he choised . we gonna use a technique he teach us. And we’ll use flowers with very warm colors.


Vanda; Phalaenopsis, jatropha, Physalis, amaranthus, gloriosa, nutance, craspedia, chrysanthème.
We used only flowers we know he loved to work with.

When we decided to do something to honor our friend Stijn we knew he choised this room in the basement and the fire. When we started to talk about it the First image who arrive to us was this ropes technique all over the ceiling whis warm colors flowers and cushions on the Floor in order that people can lie here and maybe take a moment to think to him or just admire flowers.
The project didn’t change that much then. And with the time we had, we all put our best energy to realise this dream for him.
First we gonna build the structure with plywood, then we’ll create the ‘spider web’ with ropes, we’ll add the flowers. To finish we will try to do a nice athmosphère like Stijn loved to do,a beautiful musique, that was very importante to him.
