Tropical Colors: The Art of Living with Tropical Flowers
Luscious color photographs by Luca Invernizzi Tettoni posit intriguing ways designers have concocted displays of the lush beauty of tropical blooms in tandem with unusual materials such as chicken wire and humble materials like leaves, reeds, or airy forms crafted of strips of bamboo. The interiors shown are predominately contemporary in style and located in Thailand. Homes, offices, and hotel settings enhanced by creative floral arrangements consistently achieve elements of surprise and visual appeal while only occasionally striking a jarring note. From highly dramatic, large-scale installations to serene pairings where a single stem and complementary vase indicate a complete idea, the book provides a wealth of fresh images ripe for contemplation.Alice JoyceCopyright © American Library Association.
