The Keukenhof theme for 2017 is ‘Dutch Design’, which is incorporated in the flower bulb mosaic, and considered one of the highlights. In addition, Dutch Design features at flower shows in the Oranje Nassau Pavilion. Two of the inspirational gardens are also dedicated to the theme.

Dutch design is characterized by sobriety, combined with innovative solutions. Famous artists and designers, such as Mondriaan and Rietveld, have laid the foundations for Dutch design. Today, Dutch designers are appreciated worldwide for their industry-leading designs in fashion, graphic design, architecture and furniture design. They are the source of inspiration for the theme of the next Keukenhof season.

The flower mosaic depicts a Mondriaan painting combined with designer chairs. The mosaic is planted in two layers, providing a longer flowering period in the spring. The mosaic covers an area of 250m2 and will be planted in two layers with 80.000 tulips, muscari and crocus.

Keukenhof 2017 opens from 23 March until 21 May.
