return to press index The American Debut of Pieter Porters ~ Urban Chateau sets the stage for Bouquets to Art, March 2004 Belgium’s leading floral and interior designer arrives from Antwerp with flowers in hand and romance in heart. For the first time, the Bouquets to Art stage will be set with antiques and crystal chandeliers courtesy of Urban Chateau, the chic Sacramento Street shop. Mr. Porters’ morning lecture will focus on interior floral décor. During the afternoon program, he will create flowers for the table. Mr. Porters’ floral design is tempered with his perspective as an interior designer. Drawing from the architecture and furnishings, he uses flowers, organic materials and decorative accessories to add high style to any space. He often designs a complete still life for a room, unifying apparently disparate elements through his floral creations. Although his projects are varied in style, theme and material, all are unified by his signature sense of proportion, balance, and above all—drama. He is currently working on his fourth book, which showcases his most recent European interior design projects. He is a master of atmosphere and an undisputed romantic. Mr. Porters has a weekly lifestyle program on European television, and his work is often featured in international design magazines. This is his American debut. |
