NICOLAI BERGMANN PROFILE

Born in Copenhagen in 1976, Nicolai Bergmann is one of the most prominent and innovative figures in contemporary floral art. Internationally recognized for his signature style that fuses the refined minimalism of Scandinavian aesthetics with Japanese craftsmanship and attention to detail, he has redefined the role of flowers in modern culture.

He is widely known for pioneering the iconic Flower Box—an innovative concept in floral gifting that has since become a modern classic, admired for its artistic presentation and emotional resonance. With floral design at the heart of his creative vision, Bergmann’s work extends seamlessly into the realms of fashion, lifestyle, and interior design. His collaborations with leading global luxury brands underscore his reputation as a creative force at the intersection of nature and design.

Nicolai Bergmann is celebrated as one of Japan’s most influential flower artists, often serving as a cultural bridge between Japan and his native Denmark. In 2018, he was appointed cultural ambassador to commemorate 150 years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Denmark.

Nicolai Bergmann brings a fresh perspective to floral design, uniting elements of nature, culture, and innovation in a way that continues to influence and inspire internationally.
