Flower arranging & floral crafts

Florists Per Benjamin and Max van de Sluis (Life2) explore the history of floral design to search for past techniques that can help reduce the footprint of the sector and promote eco-friendly floral design.

The footprint of modern-day floristry is considerable, however ideas and techniques from the past can be the solution to help create a sustainable future for the sector. In this fact and inspiration filled book florists Max van de Sluis and Per Benjamin go as far back as the Stone Age and Ancient Egypt to find out about flower use, techniques and materials throughout the ages. They show us how intricate floral designs were made without single-use, non-compostable or non-reusable materials, and how these often simple, but clever and inventive ways can be adapted and upscaled to create contemporary 'greener' floral design.

AUTHORS: Floral designers Per Benjamin (Sweden) and Max van de Sluis (the Netherlands) have flourishing individual careers as designers and educators, but next to that they still team up and travel the world as Life2 - a name that has grown into a brand over the years and stands for excellence and quality.
