The Nicolai Bergmann brand radiates upscale elegance, taking flower fashion to a new level. In addition to his famous floral designs — he revolutionized Tokyo's flower world in 2000 with his original Flower Boxes, a best-selling trend that landed his name in more than 500 publications in Japanese, Danish and English among other languages — his exclusive designs can be found in Ecco shoes, Seiko watches and many other brand products.

His store locations read like a roll call of fashion meccas in Japan: Roppongi Hills, Shinjuku, Yurakucho and Scandinavian interior shop SUMU in Tokyo Midtown. Traveling all over the world to give demonstrations, Bergmann has been catapulted to international acclaim with his fresh designs.

Within Bergmann's offices, tucked in behind Gucci and a stone's throw from Omotesando Dori, the man himself is much more down to earth, changing his 18-month-old son's diapers between his more glamorous commitments.
