The international series Masters of Flower Arrangement and Floral Masterpieces have been widely acclaimed all over the world. A number of flower arrangers from Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Germany and Switzerland contributed to these prestigious collections since 1993. Indeed: earlier titles rightly turned into collector’s items by now. The latest volume in the series is Nordic masters of flower arrangement. It presents the work of twenty-one world famous floral artists from the north. Floral collages, vegetal sculptures, background setting, table decorations, figurines, delightful bouquets: every one of these creations is surrounded by an individual aura of its own. Leading Swedish photographer Michel Hjorth had the privilege to capture this ephemeral splendour.
