CITY SERIES – BouquetMats that blend in with the rhythm of the city

Last year, we had the pleasure of presenting our Polish BouquetMats at the international trade fairs in Stuttgart and Cologne. We had many conversations with people interested in our flower vending machines and these conversations were a huge source of inspiration for us. It was then that we realised that we should not stop at the projects we had already developed. In order to develop and fully respond to the urban needs, we have to look for new forms that fit harmoniously into the diverse urban landscapes – from historic old towns to modern city centres.

This experience gave birth to the CITY SERIES – a line of BouquetMats inspired by the architecture of European capital cities. These are solutions that combine aesthetics, functionality and technology. These BouquetMats not only enable the purchase of fresh flowers 24/7, but also enrich public space, forming an integral and stylish part of it.

Our units manufactured at Eldrut Automatics are designed for historic parts of cities where every detail counts, as well as modern locations where design matters. Each design emphasises the character of the city in which it is located – making CITY SERIES BouquetMats more than a point of sale – they are part of the urban landscape.

Our CITY SERIES designs combine modern functionality with urban aesthetics. When creating these solutions, we were inspired by the diversity of architecture in European capital cities – from classic townhouses to modern public spaces. This has resulted in BouquetMats that blend naturally into the urban fabric, while at the same time catching the eye with their elegant design.

CITY SERIES BouquetMats are more than self-service bouquet purchase points. They are landscaping elements that enrich the landscape, ensuring its coherence and character. Each design has been thought out to emphasise the unique style of its surroundings – whether it is an old town, a park or a modern housing estate.

The Parisien model, for example, is inspired by the legendary Parisian newspaper kiosks – a symbol of urban elegance and the daily rhythm of life in the French capital. These small, green outlets have been an integral part of the Parisian landscape for decades. When the idea of abolishing them was mooted a few years ago, residents protested strongly – for many, they are more than a newspaper outlet, they are a part of the city’s identity.

In response to the public outcry, modern versions of the kiosks were created, combining functionality with distinctive aesthetics. It is difficult to imagine Parisian boulevards without them today. The Parisien model captures thieir spirit – a BouquetMat that respects tradition while responding to the needs of the modern city.

The Lisboeta model takes its inspiration from one of the Portuguese capital’s most recognisable symbols – the yellow tram. For years, these charming, historic vehicles have been making their way through Lisbon’s narrow and steep streets, becoming part of the city’s daily life and unique rhythm.

It is more than a means of transport – it is a symbol of Lisbon, its energy, colour and traditions. Tram line 28 has become an icon that is loved by locals and tourists from all over the world alike. It is this atmosphere that we wanted to capture in the design of the Lisboa BouquetMat – combining a sentimental aesthetic with a modern form. The model exudes warmth, character and dynamism – just like the city itself that inspired it.

The Londoner model is inspired by one of London’s most recognisable symbols – the red telephone box. It is an object that, despite the passage of years and the technological revolution, has remained an icon of British culture and the urban landscape. With its distinctive silhouette, intense red colour and elegant architectural detailing, the booths have become not only a practical element of the street, but also a street decoration – eagerly photographed by tourists and cherished by local communities.

The Londoner model draws on this form: distinctive colour, a simple but dignified design and functionality incorporated into the aesthetics. It is a BouquetMat which, like the red telephone box, is a symbol of the marriage of tradition and modernity. The difference is that instead of conversation, it offers flowers – and around the clock.

The Warszawski model was inspired by one of the most characteristic elements of post-war Warsaw – the Ruch kiosk. These small pavilions, with their geometric shapes and streamlined form, appeared in the city landscape in the 1950s and quickly became a permanent fixture. They sold newspapers, tickets, stamps and sometimes conversation – they were a small centre of information and everyday life.

BouquetMat Warszawski draws on this aesthetic: a classic form, balanced proportions and a reference to the nostalgia of yesteryear. At the same time, it is a thoroughly modern device which – like kiosks in the past – discreetly fits into the urban space, offering residents access to fresh flowers 24 hours a day. It is a tribute to Warsaw’s tradition that combines the past with the future – with elegance, functionality and the soul of the city.

Thanks to advanced technology, our BouquetMats ensure the freshness of bouquets 24 hours a day, while intuitive operation makes the purchase of flowers quick and pleasant. This is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to bring joy to their loved ones – at any time of day or night.

What a great feeling it is to see the actual flower vending machines created from our designs. And it is even more gratifying to see these designs become a reality – we are proud to present a series that combines aesthetics, functionality and innovation.

Take a look at our work – we pride ourselves on creating solutions that bring joy and beauty, while also fitting in with the idea of modern, open cities.
