CITY SERIES – Flower vending machines that blend into the rhythm of the city

Last year, we had the pleasure of presenting our Polish Bouquetmats at international trade fairs in Stuttgart and Cologne. We had many conversations with people interested in our flower bouquet vending machines, and these discussions were an immense source of inspiration for us. That was when we realized we couldn’t stop at the projects we had already developed. To grow and fully respond to the needs of cities, we need to look for new forms that harmoniously fit into diverse urban landscapes – from historic old towns to modern centers.

From these experiences, the CITY SERIES was born – a line of flower vending machines inspired by the architecture of European metropolises. These are solutions that combine aesthetics, functionality, and technology. These machines not only allow for the purchase of fresh flowers 24/7, but also enrich public space, becoming its integral and stylish part.

Our devices, manufactured by Eldrut Automatics, were designed with both historical city areas – where every detail matters – and modern locations – where design makes a difference – in mind. Each project highlights the character of the place where it is installed – that’s why CITY SERIES Bouquetmats are more than just sales points – they are elements of the urban landscape.

Our CITY SERIES designs combine modern functionality with urban aesthetics. In creating these solutions, we were inspired by the architectural diversity of European cities – from classic townhouses to modern public spaces. As a result, we created flower vending machines that naturally blend into the urban fabric while catching the eye with elegant design.

CITY SERIES is more than self-service flower purchase points. They are elements of small architecture that enhance the space while respecting its coherence and character. Each design has been thoughtfully created to highlight the unique style of its surroundings – whether it’s an old town, a park, or a modern residential area.

For example, the Parisien model is inspired by the legendary Parisian newspaper kiosks – symbols of urban elegance and the everyday rhythm of life in the French capital. These small green sales points have been an integral part of Paris’ landscape for decades. When a few years ago the idea of removing them surfaced, residents strongly protested – for many, they were more than just newsstands; they were a fragment of the city’s identity.

In response, modern versions of the kiosks were created, combining functionality with their characteristic aesthetics. Today, it’s hard to imagine Parisian boulevards without them. The Parisien model captures that spirit – it’s a flower vending machine that respects tradition while meeting the needs of the contemporary city.

The Lisboeta model draws inspiration from one of the most recognizable symbols of the Portuguese capital – the yellow tram. These charming, historic vehicles have been navigating the narrow and steep streets of Lisbon for years, becoming part of the city’s daily life and its unique rhythm.

They are more than just a means of transportation – they are a symbol of Lisbon’s energy, color, and tradition. Tram line 28 has become an icon beloved by both locals and tourists from all over the world. That’s the atmosphere we wanted to capture in the Lisboa vending machine – combining sentimental aesthetics with a modern form. This model radiates warmth, character, and dynamism – just like the city that inspired it.

The Londoner model is inspired by one of the most recognizable symbols of London – the red telephone booth. Despite the passage of time and the technological revolution, this object has remained an icon of British culture and the urban landscape. Its distinctive silhouette, intense red color, and elegant architectural detail have made it not only a practical street element but also a decorative one – often photographed by tourists and cherished by local communities.

The Londoner model takes from this form: bold color, simple yet stately construction, and functionality infused with aesthetic value. It’s a flower vending machine that – just like the London phone booth – symbolizes the meeting of tradition and modernity. The only difference is that instead of a conversation, it offers flowers – 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 geometric shapes and minimalist forms, appeared in the cityscape in the 1950s and quickly became a permanent part of it. They sold newspapers, tickets, stamps, and sometimes even conversation – they were small centers of information and daily life.

The Warszawski flower vending machine draws from this aesthetic: a classic shape, balanced proportions, and a nod to the nostalgia of bygone days. At the same time, it is a fully modern device that – like the kiosks once did – discreetly fits into the urban space, offering residents access to fresh flowers 24/7. It’s a tribute to Warsaw’s tradition, combining past and future – with elegance, functionality, and the soul of the city.

Thanks to advanced technology, our Bouquetmats keep the flowers fresh around the clock, and intuitive operation makes purchasing flowers quick and enjoyable. It’s a perfect solution for anyone who wants to bring joy to a loved one – at any time of the day or night.

What a wonderful feeling it is to see real flower vending machines that came to life from our designs. And it brings even more joy to see them becoming a reality – we proudly present a series that combines aesthetics, functionality, and innovation.

Take a look at our creations – we are proud to design solutions that bring joy and beauty while fitting into the idea of modern, open cities.
