Tokyo Flowers

Faithful to their three basic principles – beauty, purity and quality – Japanese YouKaEn has gone from being a relatively small, unknown company to one of the major players in inventive and creative floral work. There is no doubt that beauty lies hidden in every flower, but it is the task of the designer to transcend that inherent beauty and create an object that combines the best of nature and imagination; a creation that is pure, refined and graceful.

Yuji Kobayashi (°1963), chief designer and executive manager of YouKaEn, needs no words to put this vision into practice. His work speaks for itself. A flawless technique and the choice of only the best materials result in floral art that flirts with perfection. His compositions united in this publication excel in symmetry. Square, round, triangular and cylindrical creations are carefully thought out and sketched on paper before being converted into plant material. Enter the mind of this exceptional artist and be amazed.

Poetical Ikebana

€59.90
By

The combination of Ikebana and haiku results in a more than successful marriage. The similarity between the two arts goes far beyond their common Japanese origins. The seductive simplicity of the haiku, its sparse use of words and subtlety, its silences and deep grounds, its rhythms and seasons… These are only some of the characteristics that Haiku shares with Ikebana.

Creativity with Flowers. A Collection of Floral Recipes

€65.00
By,

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.
