The flowers at the Metropolitan\u00a0Museum of Art create a multi-sensory\u00a0experience. Although they do not play a central role, they produce a colorful scent scape to enhance your visit. We want to do an inside scoop on the\u00a0man who is responsible for this avenue of creativity,\u00a0Remco van Vliet.<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t know the Metropolitan Museum had a florist?\u00a0Watch this clip on\u00a0Vliet\u2019s work<\/a>\u00a0to get a taste of how amazing he is.<\/p>\n

For the past decade, Vilet has transformed the most desolate and somber parts of the Metropolitan Museum into fountains of elegance and grandeur with a combination of flowers and lights.<\/p>\n

Van Vliet & Trap<\/a>\u00a0is the design company that Remco van Vlient and his brother Cas Trap started in 1997. Their father trained them to be Master Florists in the Netherlands, where they worked for many affluent companies and events, including the Dutch Royal Family! They have an absolute passion for flowers, and it shows in their work.<\/p>\n

Remco van Vlient\u00a0says he studied what people were doing for 7 years and became frustrated with what was happening in the industry.\u00a0\u00a0He\u00a0decided to spruce it up and fix the broken with his own business. His work is beautiful, unique, and influential.\u00a0To see more examples of the amazing atmospheres he is creating, check out some\u00a0photos<\/a>\u00a0here.<\/p>\n
