Kwekerij Zeurniet won the Glazen Tulp in the concepts category with its Tillansy. The jury found the concept of the Tillansy to be accessible for the public at large. It's a beautiful idea to let an old plant 'grow' in the glass. The concept is solid and it works. Additionally, this concept can be further developed to include other applications for the glass, such as hanging it up.
