The design of the Tulip carrier

The Tulip carrier was designed by Monique Rang, the founder of Wikkelgoed. She developed this idea together with her son Robbe, the current owner. The design of the Tulip originated from the need to create a new shape. A carrier with six corners did not yet exist, even though it is the shape of the original coffin. By using this shape for a carrier, a beautiful open version of this tradition is created. The slanted edges give the Tulip carrier an extra inviting character.

'Tulipan'

The tulip carries many stories with it. Nowadays, the tulip quickly makes you think of Holland, but originally the tulip comes from Turkey. Sultans often wore the flower on their turban. This is how the name 'Tulipan' came about, which over time changed into the name tulip.

Forgiveness

The different colours of tulips have their own symbolic value. For example, the white tulip is a symbol of forgiveness. This is a fitting meaning for the serene, immaculate white of the flower.

Love

As many know, the color red is strongly associated with love. The red tulip is therefore a symbol of true love. Giving a red tulip is a sign of affection. The red color also carries an association with blood, kinship.

Nobility

The purple tulip is reminiscent of purple blood, noble descent. A beautiful symbol of royal dignity. Purple tulips are also associated with peace and spirituality.

Poplar wood

The poplar wood of this carrier has a particularly soft texture. The wood is light in colour, which fits in nicely with the different meanings of the tulip: with a Coloured shroud, a choice can be made for one of the symbolisms above. Of course, the precise interpretation of any symbolism is completely up to you.
