    Product detailed description

    Modern Ikebana: a New Wave in Floral Design - Victoria Gaiger & Tom Loxley

    The traditional Japanese art of ikebana flower arranging originated in the 6th century as a meditative practice rooted in Zen Buddhism. Over time, it developed a set of principles focused on working with space, asymmetry, and respect for the natural forms of plants. Authors Tom Loxley and Victoria Gaiger explore how this historic discipline is appealing to a new generation of florists and sculptors around the world. The book shows how contemporary creators interpret the principles of ikebana in their daily practice, how they use unusual materials, and how they bring the minimalism of the Japanese tradition into galleries, studios, and modern interiors.

    About the authors

    Tom Loxley and Victoria Gaiger are the founders and editors-in-chief of the British independent magazine rakesprogress, which focuses on gardens, plants, and floral art. They have long documented contemporary trends in landscape architecture and visual work with natural materials.

    What you will find in the book

    The book provides a historical overview of the development of ikebana and explains its fundamental aesthetic and philosophical principles. The main section consists of profiles and interviews with twenty-five florists, including Manu Torres, Toru Watarai, and the studios Palais and Wife NYC, complemented by large-format photographs of their work and studios. The publication also includes an illustrated glossary of plants and flowers used in modern compositions.

    Why we chose it

    The book clearly demonstrates how a traditional craft and meditative discipline can be brought into a contemporary setting without losing its respect for the material. For us, it is an inspiring source of insight into working with plants, where both tools and the human hand serve only to highlight the natural form of nature.
