With the photography project ‘In pelle’ (‘on the skin’), photographer Bart Van Leuven and floral artist Rita Gijbels enter a new but fascinating territory: the human body as a landscape in which things happen. Sometimes the body becomes an almost abstract form in which the artists intervene with floral and vegetal matter. At other times, the focus is on body parts that are taken out of their familiar context and brought into a new and surprising coherence.
Floral design lives and moves. It surprises, delights, overwhelms and touches. Looking at possibilities makes you discover new ones and motivates you to transcend boundaries again and again.
Acclaimed florists Per Benjamin (SE) and Max van de Sluis (NL) share their extensive knowledge in the field of floral art in this voluminous recipe book. Step by step they create bouquets, table decorations, arrangements with cut flowers and plants, wedding flowers, sympathy pieces, festive Christmas decorations and other impressive designs for the home. This book compiles all eight volumes of the popular (and sold out) series Creativity with Flowers. It covers a nice mix of commercial and artistic designs and caters both to the hobbyist and the professional. In addition to the hundreds of arrangements, both florists graciously grant us a peek behind the scenes, they explain their way of working, sources of inspiration, thought process and creativity to encourage the reader to do more than merely copy their arrangements. The ultimate goal of this book is not only to provide the necessary tools and techniques, but also to give florists the confidence to develop into artists with a personal style and a unique artistic personality.

Japanese Hideyuki Niwa grew up surrounded by flowers. Familiar from an early age with their qualities, vulnerabilities and potential, a career as a floral designer was a logical next step. At the age of 20, he graduated from Tokyo’s Flower College, which immediately opened doors at Kamon Flower Gate Co Ltd; a rich and fertile working environment where his talent only sharpened.
