Stielbruch by Tilla Küng

These flowers don’t wilt after a few days. They last a lifetime.
Behind every bouquet lie handmade artificial flowers sourced from second-hand shops and fabric remnants, combined with green waste from local compost heaps and demolition sites. Stielbruch, founded by Tilla Küng, deliberately avoids traditional cut flowers – which are often laden with pesticides and imported by plane and refrigerated lorry.

Instead, a local cycle is created: the bouquets, assembled in Basel, are delivered by bike – complete with a matching second-hand vase – then collected again and constantly rearranged.

All year round, in every colour, sustainable and regional. With a clear awareness of climate and biodiversity.
