Fujie Suzuki from NOMURA Designs for the 20th Brussels Flower Carpet
NOMURA Co., Ltd.
The Brussels Flower Carpet Office announces on May 10 that designer Fujie Suzuki from NOMURA Co., Ltd. is in charge of the design of the 20th Brussels Flower Carpet in Brussels, Belgium.
The Brussels Flower Carpet was first held in the Grand Place of Brussels in 1971. It was held irregularly at first but came to be held every two years from 1986. In addition to the 20th Flower Carpet, 2016 marks 150 years of friendship between Japan and Belgium. Ms. Suzuki's design based on kacho-fugetsu, traditional themes of nature in Japanese esthetic, was selected for this year's Flower Carpet and Belgian designer Mr. Mark Schauteet transformed this design into a real flower carpet with stunning colorful Begonia.
Begonias grown to portray Ms. Suzuki's design will be planted by volunteers and can be seen from August 12 to 15, 2016. Ms. Suzuki herself will also attend the event.
<< Comments on the Design from Designer Fujie Suzuki >>
Kacho-fugetsu is a traditional Japanese esthetic that expresses all the beauty of nature, including flora, fauna and beautiful landscapes. It also expresses a love and appreciation of these things. My design expresses the fact that beautiful nature and scenery are a point of commonality between Belgium and Japan. I created it with the hope that this shared feature will allow Belgium and Japan to deepen the friendship we have built over the last 150 years, and that the future will bring good things for both of our countries.
