Studio Visit: At Home with Berlin’s Star Florist, Annett Kuhlmann

Celebrity florist Annett Kuhlmann’s Berlin shop Marsano reflects a childhood spent selling posies from her parents’ farm. Her A-list clients demand grand gestures: flower curtains for Dior Haute Couture, 27-foot maple trees for a CEO’s wedding. Kuhlmann, also a trained photographer, arranges with an eye for scale, proportion, and color. Freunde von Freunden visited her Mitte district balcony garden.

Balcony garden — Amid window boxes and flowering vines, Kuhlmann discusses the evolving perception of floristry as a creative profession.

Flower arranging tips — Kuhlmann’s tips for Urbanara: match or contrast flowers with furniture, work with high and low proportions.

Lower leaves removal — Remove lower leaves from cut stems to prolong vase life.

London apprenticeship — Apprenticed at Absolute Flowers in London, where she learned to break seasonal rules.

Wire hanger sculpture — A wire hanger turned sculpture on her studio wall.

Fat black dahlias — Fat black dahlias make a bold statement.

“If you break the rules pushed inside you, something wonderful happens—fat parrot tulips with coral peonies, dahlias, scented roses, hydrangeas, geraniums.”
