The top half of the design was based on real Tulips, but the other half are imaginary flowers. This was to create contrast and colour variation. Upon visiting some of the many beautiful tulip fields in the Netherlands, David was inspired to make this design, but he wanted to give his own twist on a floral pattern in this particular design. 'Tulips' is also part of a special memory of thatsunny spring day spent walking through bright red tulip fields.
