The Flowers in Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales Bjarne Als 1st edition

Floral artist Bjarne Als from Bering House of Flowers has always drawn inspiration from Denmark’s renowned poet Hans Christian Andersen. From this inspiration a magical fusion of fairy tales and flowers arises. The Flowers in Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales invites us into a world of beautiful decorations and insightful floral stories. Together, we enter a universe where the flowers are not just a part of the tales but also a source of anecdotes and inspiration. Bjarne’s art challenges the traditional perception of flowers and beautifully opens the door to our imagination. 
About the author Florist Bjarne Als, born in 1965, began his career early. At the age of 10, he worked part-time as an assistant at Country House in Fredensborg, weaving flower and pinecone wreaths and looking after the small flower shop on weekends. In 1981, he sought an apprenticeship with the Royal Warrant Holder, Erik Bering, located in Copenhagen. Bjarne was informed that he could start his apprenticeship a year later if he attended business school for one year. This turned out to be a pivotal decision, as he met the love of his life, Hanne. They were both only 17 and have been together ever since. In 2003, Bjarne took over from Erik Bering, and he now runs Bering House of Flowers together with Hanne at their shop at Landemærket in Copenhagen.
