Olivier’s Book
Olivier Guigni’s recently released, inspiring book, Living Art (Scribners) is refreshing…. He shows how flowers can and should just fit in our every day lives and not just reserved for extravagant occasions. One of my all time favorites (see below) has been the way Olivier uses huge tropical (and pliable) philodendron leaves to wrap flowers. Makes me imagine this is what a ‘flower-burrito’ would look like.
It is fitting that the forward is by Cathernine Deneuve because like her, Olivier’s soul and artistry exude a relevant, quiet elegance. Congratulations Olivier! Your tasteful and talent-filled book will surely find its rightful place, nestled in the shelves right next to other floral innovators – icons like Madderlake, Ronaldo Maia, Tage Anderson and Daniel Ost.
