Bridal floral art like it has never been shown before. Obviously, this beautiful album pays a lot of attention to the bouquet as well as to corsages, boutonnières, car decorations and church ornamentations. But, Wedding Emotions also adds another dimension. 

This publication contains elaborate reports of six extraordinary weddings, each with their own atmosphere which is materialised in the book. Each wedding is set in completely different surroundings with special, emotional splendour: a country festivity, a cool white icewedding, a romantic ceremony in a small chapel… 

Both setting and place determine the specific mood of the Big Day. The three world-famous floral designers of Wedding Emotions give their best in this splendid edition, staying faithful to their own style and at the same time ever so innovating and original. Bridal work for the 21st century that will undoubtedly inspire a great many florists!

Created in the border between the Western world, the Arab world and the New World, with the experience of a former global empire and the mind-set of a bull, Spain has always followed it’s own path. For better and for worse, it’s people have done things their way. Pulled by different cultures in different directions, the forces that sculpted this country have produced an exotic and unique phenomenon. It’s exotic because there is none like it. It’s unique because, ironically, it’s a place made from differences. The young artists in this book/exhibition make use of various strokes, media and resources, to show how their culture is still under construction. WEMADETHIS.ES is an instant that captures, with diverse languages, the singular undergoing project that is Spain.

This wide-ranging historical survey of Western furniture showcases the V&A's unrivalled collection, and covers a dazzling array of designers and styles over many historical periods and regions of the Western world.

The Vienna Workshop and the "total work of art"

Founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Fritz Waemdorfer, the Wiener Werkstätte ("Vienna Workshop") was a collective of architects and craftsmen which aimed at fusing architecture and interior design into a Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art. Experimenting with various materials (gold, precious stones, and papier mâché, for example), the artists of the Wiener Werkstätte created buildings and objects which combined classical elegance with streamlined functionality.

Though the workshop lasted only thirty years, its influence is still strong today.

The Wiener Werkstatte ("Vienna Workshop") bears many hallmarks of a modern creative movement.

Founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Fritz Waerndorfer, this progressive alliance of artists and designers was particularly interested in challenging industrialised society with individual handcraftsmanship, and in bringing different facets of life into one unified, elegant artwork. The workshop began life in three small rooms but soon expanded to fill a three-storey building with special departments for metalwork, leatherwork, and woodwork, as well as a bookbinder and a paint shop. Artists experimented with various materials such as gold, precious stones, and papier-mache and applied their simple, often geometric, designs across ceramics, textiles, typography, interior design, furniture, and fashion.

In architectural commissions such as the Purkersdorf Sanatorium and the Palais Stoclet in Brussels, the group was able to realize its ideal of the Gesamtkunstwerk ("total artwork"), in which every detail of an environment was designed as an integral part of a coordinated whole.

Though the workshop lasted only 30 years, it enjoyed major commercial success, with outlets in Karlsbad, Marienbad, Zurich, New York, and Berlin. It also garnered designs from many of the leading artists of the epoch, including Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, and Egon Schiele. Today, the Vienna Workshop is recognized for its comprehensive approach to artistic practice and its stylistic influence on Art Deco and Bauhaus.

In the history of the decorative arts, there has never been another designer who has achieved such lasting impact. While lamenting the excesses of mass-production, he set up the firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company. Soon it was producing a range of goods, from hand-woven tapestries, carpets and printed textiles to stained glass, metalwork and furniture. What the company offered was quite simply a way of life. 

In 'William Morris and the Arts & Crafts Home', Pamela Todd celebrates Morris’s genius for decoration and design and shows how he envisaged and implemented schemes for interiors in his own homes and those of others, passionately believing that beautiful surroundings promoted creativity and happiness. 

To demonstrate how the style can be applied to our living spaces today a series of ‘Case Studies’ explores six contemporary homes – from a modern London townhouse to a traditional Arts and Crafts house in Massachusetts – that have followed and adapted Morris’s guiding principles.

Internationally acclaimed for his compelling work in glass, William Morris approaches the demands of glassblowing and glass sculpting with an experimental eye and an innovative hand. Morris, who lives and works near Seattle, has collaborated with master glass blowers as well as renowned painters and sculptors in making art that is widely admired by artists, sought by collectors, and praised by critics. For him, glass is an endlessly intriguing material-fragile yet timeless, preserving the spontaneity of the creative moment unlike any other medium. In this strikingly handsome volume of recent work, Morris explores themes related to archaeology, animals, and the hunt. His Crows, Ravens, and Rhytons embody his intellectual interest in myth and ancient history, as well as his keenly intuitive understanding of the natural world.
