About Bunch of Tulips

When you think of tulips, you think of vibrant color and beauty. This installation by Koros Design inflates this iconic flower to epic proportions, putting it into historical context. Did you know that tulips saw an enormous surge in popularity in the 1630s, a period famously known as 'tulipmania'?

Koros Design Studio wanted to recreate a bouquet of tulips on a grand scale. The work embodies elements of Pop Art, where the sheer quantity, size, and color of the tulips reflect and celebrate our culture of mass consumption—a playful, kitschy take on a historical and widely recognized symbol.

Fun fact: During tulipmania, these flowers became so sought after that their price skyrocketed—a single bouquet could cost as much as a house!
