Книги по флористики

After their successful firstling, Muriel Le Couls and Gil Boyard, both honoured 'Meilleur Ouvrier de France', join creative forces for Floral Art Structures 2. In this new volume, the designers focus on three categories of floral works. Muriel and Gil create original and imaginative holders for wedding bouquets, reusable base structures for use in hotel and business contexts – designed for flower and plant subscriptions – and original containers for the decoration of banquets and large-scale events; services in which both Gil and Muriel have earned their stripes. This brand new book is packed with clever, multi-purpose and reusable concepts and designs, made to measure but with plenty of possibilities to be reused, according to the season or wishes of the client. Floral Art Structures 2 will provide friendly guidance to both the professional sector and the advanced hobbyist for the more commercial floral designs.

Structures 2 is even better than the first book. A new and exciting view of flower arranging. Makes the arrangements I have done seem really dated. Influence from these young and progressive arrangers is inspiring and influential. Anyone doing flower arranging or just love unusual sculptures will enjoy this book.

The most comprehensive showcase ever published of Azuma Makoto’s astonishing flower art and botanical sculpture

The art of Makoto Azuma uses flowers and plants as its starting point, but juxtaposes their timeless yet transient beauty with an incredibly diverse range of striking settings. In a series of sculptures, installations and interactive events, he delights in blurring the boundaries between nature and artifice.

Azuma founded the floral atelier Jardins des Fleurs in 2002, taking commissions from private clients as well as brands and corporations, both in Japan and all over the world. His parallel career as an artist began in 2005 and involves creating and exhibiting artworks that turn flowers and plants into a medium for self-expression. In 2008, Azuma founded AMKK (Azuma Makoto Kaju Kenkyujo), a group specializing in experimental floral creation, with the aim of seeking new forms of botanical beauty and new ways to exhibit them. His works have travelled the globe, from barren deserts to frozen expanses, from thousands of feet below the sea to the very edge of space. Featuring more than sixty projects captured in breathtaking photography, this beautiful book is the most comprehensive showcase of Azuma’s art ever published.

Azuma and Shiinoki have collaborated on three volumes of Encyclopedia of Flowers.
