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 Provençal 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.
