The Story Behind Bering Flowers
It was Erik Bering's grandmother who sparked his interest for wild flowers in nature.
Erik Bering began his floral apprenticeship in the 1960s at "Viola" in Hellerup, Denmark. This was followed by a period of study in Paris and then "Flower House" in London. It was especially his time spent in London that made a big impression on him. The romantic style - a little heavy, a little dramatic.
In 1972 Erik Bering opened "The House of Flowers" in Købmagergade in downtown Copenhagen, Denmark. The philosophy that all flowers are equal and that all people are equally welcome in the shop, is seen to this day.
