Reviews"Reading this book is like talking to a really good friend who is prepared to hear your midnight confessions and then share a few of her own. Getting older is no picnic, but reading this book offers the immeasurable comfort of knowing we are not alone'in the journey and that as much as there are moments to weep, there are also lots of moments when laughter is the only'sane response."--Pearl Cleage, author'ofSeen It?All and Done the Rest?

SynopsisLife is colour and colour is life: mantra of Olivier Giugni, founder and owner of L'Olivier, the sleek floral design atelier in Manhattan. Far from Brignoles, the Provencal village where he grew up, Olivier reimagines the warmth, whimsy, style and bursts of colour from his native France in a singularly contemporary fashion. Created from a breath-taking range of organic and sustainable material, Olivier's work becomes living sculpture, drawing from and reflecting back the signature elements of its surrounding environment., Olivier Giugni, the renowned floral artist, presents stunning portraits of his sumptuous creations in a variety of private homes, along with detailed descriptions of their design and placement--and recipes for a dozen of his signature arrangements. Life is color and color is life. This is the mantra of Olivier Giugni, founder and owner of L'Olivier, the sleek floral design atelier in Manhattan. Far from Brignoles, the Proven al village where he grew up, Olivier reimagines the warmth, whimsy, style, and bursts of color from his native France in a singularly contemporary fashion, and in doing so, he has become one of the New York area's most beloved and acclaimed floral designers. Created from a breathtaking range of organic and sustainable material, Olivier's work becomes living sculpture, drawing from and reflecting back the signature elements of its surrounding environment. True to this vision, his gorgeous, lush arrangements of dramatic flowers and plants inspire and transform every space they occupy. In Living Art, Olivier walks readers through the homes of eighteen of his clients as well as his own, pointing out how their art, furnishings, and design preferences engage in a call-and-response with his unique arrangements. Along the way, Olivier's creative thought process is revealed, showing how composition, color, texture, and fragrance can have a subtle yet decisive impact on the energy of a room, enhancing and elevating mood and moment. Living Art 's spectacular images illuminate this master florist's aesthetic approach in an accessible way. A gift for experienced arrangers or novices just learning to work with flowers, the book includes recipes for twelve of Olivier's unique arrangements, offering novel ways to style flowers, plants, and foliage--from cascade to orchid garden to bouquet. The poetic, playful creativity featured in Living Art will move and spark the imagination of all those who are passionate about flowers.
