"Off the beaten track"

Konni van Delft (1956) was trained in Germany. She subsequently moved her sphere of activities to the Netherlands from where she now travels the world as a freelance designer. It all started during her training to be a flower arranger in Germany. This was followed by various courses in Grünberg on subjects such as bouquets, wedding flowers and sales techniques. Her first steps up the professional ladder were taken as the manager of a florist shop in Germany. The Netherlands came later. After gaining experience in florist shops she moved on to purchasing for a floricultural supplies wholesaler in the Netherlands. This was followed by an international position in the field of buying and selling Christmas articles and decorations.

Rich sources

Since 1987 she has been self-employed as a retail and floral designer. She speaks German and English and has specialised in demonstrations, presentation techniques, concept development and training courses, both in the field of trend and style groups and motivation training. Her main clients are florist shops, supermarkets and garden centres. She draws inspiration for her work from three rich sources: "Music, films and fashion."

Globetrotter

Konni is a real globetrotter and can pride herself on an impressive amount of international experience. Her 'region' includes the Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia, England, Ireland, Eastern and Southern Europe, South Africa, Brazil, Taiwan and China. One of her most unusual commissions in recent years took her a long way from home. "It was a show in South Africa and was exceptional because of the special location and the challenge of creating a corner of Holland in such a far and exotic country."
