Harijanto Setiawan, an architect by training, gave up his career to pursue a new one: floral design. As a child he already knew the names of all the varieties of flowers in the garden and in elementary school he showed off his flower arranging skills during art classes. Later, by mixing architectural concepts with floral design, he would develop a style so unique that he was noticed worldwide. He worked full-time as a floral designer in various countries for 18 years. The lockdowns due to Covid-19, caused a massive shortage of materials and Harijanto had to abandon his flamboyant design style of the past. Starting from a simple flower stem and leaf, he rediscovered his original passion for architecture. The Zen movement and the minimalist style of Japanese Ikebana inspire his current work. One by one excess elements are removed. Only when nothing more can be removed and the creation still looks beautiful, the arrangement is considered complete. Oddly enough, his designs were not recognised by the official Ikebana associations in Singapore, so he could not give demonstrations under the title modern 'Ikebana'. Therefore, Harijanto Setiawan decided to name his original style after himself: Haribana.

AUTHOR: Harijanto Setiawan is an architect by training, but his true passion lies in floristry. Acclaimed for his artistic vision in the areas of floral-scape. His spectacular floral creations are regularly seen at celebrity weddings. Breathtakingly fluent in the language of flowers, Harijanto's works inspire as much as they entertain. He founded Boenga, a floral studio specialising in thematic events and weddings in 2004. In line with the spirit of giving back to the community and to promote the art of floral design as a professional career, he was appointed as President of the Floral Designers Society Singapore for the period 2013 to 2015. He authored two books Mystical Floral Journey and WTF! What The Flowers. Harijanto is a floral demonstrator, floral educator, international judge for floral design competitions and floral adviser for many international brands. Among his clients are: Chanel, Dior, Hermes, Piaget, Swarovski, Manolo Blahnik, Takashimaya and Audi.
