Marcel Van Dijk

For more than twenty-five years already, Marcel and Monique van Dijk share the same passion: creating atmosphere and experience with vegetal materials. Their company Oogenlust has rapidly turned into the Dutch reference when it comes to floral decoration. Every day more than twenty employees are on the move, both at home and abroad. First and foremost, nature remains their inexhaustible breeding ground. Sometimes a bare room is being transformed for a major event, some other time a historical property is being opulently decorated. But every time, the result breaks new ground. After Geert Pattyn and Gilles Pothier, the team of Stichting Kunstboek Publishers has invited Marcel van Dijk to bring forward his vision on floral interior decoration in a beautful publication. The result is stunning. The Oogenlust team loves a challenge and suceeds in creating a certain atmosphere with simple, but sometimes also more complex, interventions and surprising combinations of materials. Readers can enjoy this exuberant big work endlessly, but can just as well find many creative ideas for their home. It is a delicious coffee table book that will continue to inspire.
