Luis Javier is a studio florist
specializing in weddings and
event floral design, with an
emphasis on flower styling.
In speaking to his unique
approach to arranging flowers,

flowers and plants." It is in
this dance that Javier pulls his

Mariann Dahlby Lynnebakke began her career as
a florist at age 29, as an assistant in a flower shop in her
hometown in Norway. She fell in love with the profession
immediately and decided to go back to school to
earn a certificate of apprenticeship. But for Dahlby
Lynnebakke, apprenticeship was just the beginning
of a deeper calling.
"In 2019, I started studying 'botanical design and
management' at Norges grønne fagskole—Vea
[Norway's Green College], in Moelv, and I earned a
master's degree in aesthetic subjects and became a
technician in botanical design," she says. "As I got more
knowledge and studied different techniques, I never
could let go of my dream of working with handicrafts
and botanical materials in a sustainable way."
Today, Dahlby Lynnebakke's work delights viewers around the world and challenge the limits of sustainable
design. For those interested in following the evolution of Dahlby Lynnebakke's work, her latest business project
is DB Botanisk Design, which she is beginning with colleague Nina Bjørneseth.
