In 8 A's a (Awareness, Avoidance, Act and Shift, Anticipation, Acceleration, Actor involvement, Alteration and All in love!), a plan of action is comprehensively proposed, starting with a change in mentality.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Fifteen years ago, Laura Downling was inspired to change careers from strategic communications to flowers after travelling to Paris and becoming intrigued with French flower design. She studied French floral art under the direction of leading Parisian designers and continued her floral training with German master florist Gregor Lersch, operating a small studio out of her basement kitchen. From this position, Laura competed in the nation-wide search for the prestigious position of White House Chief Floral Designer and won, proof that identifying and following a passion can lead to extraordinary things. Laura served as Chief Floral Designer at the White House from 2009 until 2015. In this unique position, she managed decor and flowers for literally thousands of White House events, including state dinners, official parties and receptions, the annual White House Christmas, as well as a portfolio of flowers for White House state rooms, East Wing and West Wing offices, and the private residence. She is renowned for creating a new romantic style of flower arranging with free-flowing lines of vines and flowers emanating from a classical bouquet. This style is most evocative of nature and the garden, and balances a strong artistic vision with the wildness of nature. She broke new ground with the idea that flowers could be more than just decorative placements; she views floral designs as an important strategic tool that can communicate specific diplomatic, symbolic and policy messages. During her tenure as Chief Floral Designer, Laura opened up the White House flower shop to hundreds of people from across the country, building an extraordinary and talented team of volunteers who helped elevate the White House flower program, taking it in new and exciting directions. Laura recently launched a new platform that expands her event design and consulting portfolio to including writing and speaking about floral design, and presenting workshops and demonstrations throughout the world. Her flowers have been featured in many design magazines and on Home and Garden Television (HGTV). In 2012, she received the Frances Jones Poetker Award from the American Horticultural Society for achievements and contributions in floristry. In 2013, she was awarded the Centralia College Distinguished Alumnus Award and delivered the commencement address. Earlier this year, she created a major installation for Floralien in Ghent, Belgium that celebrated the theme of 'Floral Diplomacy'. Always striving to create and reveal beauty in new genres, she continues to explore new frontiers in floristry, collaborating with innovative designers to invent trend-setting floral displays and installations. Laura's goal is to share her unique vision for creating flower designs in the garden style and to inspire others with her personal story. 100 colour During her six years as Chief Floral Designer for the White House, Laura Dowling managed the floral decor and for thousands of events, including state dinners, official functions as well as designs for the White House private residence.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Belgian designer Lieven Musschoot has a very pragmatic approach to interior design. Musschoot doesn't impose his character and style on his designs - the designer's ego is of very little to no importance - but attentively listens to the wishes and demands of his clients. Only afterwards he puts all things together in a detailed and thoroughly thought out plan. Musschoot designs total concepts, not only does he give spaces their appearance and function, he also designs the furniture, the wall coverings, etc- up to the smallest details that can make or break a space, such as napkins and cutlery. That graduating 'cum laude' doesn't automatically equal a full order book, became painfully evident when Lieven Musschoot had to work in bars and restaurants to simply earn a living. Coincidentally, or maybe just because of his experience in this specific business, restaurant design would later become his trademark and the sort of design work he is most solicited for. Trendy bars, caterers, hip and young diners and several Michelin star restaurants have been conceptualised by Lieven Musschoot. Lieven Musschoot: Restaurant Designs is a first comprehensive overview of Musschoot's restaurant designs. Text in English and Dutch.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. For centuries, our inherent alienation from nature has prevented us from truly understanding the potential of plants as more than simple materials or decorative objects. In recent years, however, new scientific discoveries and philosophical approaches have reframed our relationship with them, questioning the dualism human/nature so much rooted in Western thinking. Echoing the belief of American ecologist Ian Baldwin that "we should try to think like plants", designers, scientists and engineers, started to look into plants' structures and behaviours adopting them as allies to develop solutions for current and upcoming environmental and social issues. Plant Fever proposes to look at the future of design from this new vegetal perspective, moving from a human-centred to a phyto-centred design. Spanning from products and fashion items to material research, open-source devices and emerging technologies, a selection of approx. 50 exhibits - representing the work of creatives from more than 20 countries - will investigate notions such as plant blindness, eco-feminism, forestry, biomimicry and upcycling, but also post-colonialism and cultural landscapes. Conceived as a militant exposition, Plant Fever will not fear to take a stand, ask critical questions and call for new radical perspectives, involving the public in a positive, inspiring and constructive conversation. Includes contributions by Emanuele Coccia, Carole Collet, dach&zephir, Quentin Hiernaux, Overmind, Marie Pok, Catriona A. H. Sandilands, Ana Silva, Penny Sparke, Trajna collective. SELLING POINTS: .

Congolese photographer Kiripi Katembo docments the rapidly changing and mutating urban landscape of his home country in an intriguing set of images Congolese Kiripi Katembo (b.1979, Goma) began his artistic career as a painter, but in his late twenties his interest shifted towards photography and video art. Nonetheless his background as a painter is unmistakable in his video work and photographic oeuvre. Katembo paints with a camera, writes a story in pictures. With the poetic touch and the attentive gaze of an impressionist, he manages to bring the rapidly mutating urban landscape to a halt.
