The history of Hogewoning

Hogewoning is the market leader in the design and distribution of decorative materials inspired by nature.
Our family history dates back nearly a century.

Dried flowers

Hogewoning is a family-owned business that dates back to 1926, when Willem Hogewoning, the grandfather of the current owner, began trading dried flowers at the age of 21.

In the early years, sales mostly took place through flower auctions. Later, Hogewoning expanded his dried flower collection by importing different species from other countries.

Global market

In the 1970s, Hogewoning developed into a professional export-oriented company. Having emerged as a player on the global market, a period of unprecedented growth followed. Hogewoning achieved great success until the late 1990s selling dried flowers.

Import

But trends in home accessories started to change. Dried flowers fell out of fashion. Hogewoning shifted to the large-scale import of accessories and decorations.

What remain unchanged, however, was the main source of inspiration: nature. Once it’s in your DNA, it’s impossible to ignore.
