TEFAF New York is a prestigious art and antiques fair held at the Park Avenue Armory, a striking historic building in Manhattan. Renowned for its high quality, international roster of exhibitors, and refined atmosphere, TEFAF New York stands out for its exceptional attention to presentation and decoration — an area where Ten Kate Flowers & Decorations plays a distinctive role.

Together with Tom Postma Design, the fair’s architect, and Stabilo International, the stand builder, we have been responsible for the floral design at TEFAF for many years, both in Maastricht and New York. In New York, this translates into a carefully curated aesthetic where luxury, history, and art merge in perfect harmony.

Our work is distinguished by a blend of classical elegance and contemporary design, echoing the international allure of the fair. This year, the allium takes center stage. At the entrance, we’ve featured various varieties — including Globemaster, Schubertii, Purple Sensation, and Mont Blanc. These alliums have been integrated into floral walls alongside vibrant pink Gloriosa and other seasonal blooms.

Several tables are adorned with the finest peonies, while clusters of Globemaster alliums appear to float above the aisles and exhibition stands. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure the artworks are showcased at their best — an essential part of the TEFAF experience.
