Over the last ten years, the Bonsai Association Belgium has been organising a yearly international bonsai exhibition in the Belgian town of Heusden-Zolder. Each year, all exhibited pieces were photographed by professional photographers, resulting in a wealth of archive material.

Nature has shaped these bonsai over the ages but human craftsmanship, respect and patience made them a collection of living art. This book showcases a unique collection of beautiful pieces by Bonsai specialists from all over the world.

The Design Biennial INTERIEUR 2012, known for its uncompromising international selection of contemporary design, has been a strong force in the field of design events since it took place for the first time in 1968. From its start, the fair and its organisers aimed to represent design as a cultural as well as a commercial entity. The 23rd Biennale Interieur will bring change and at the same time reinforce its connections with the avant-garde spirit of its creative roots. This edition breaks through the walls of the Xpo fairground and ventures into the city of Kortrijk, turning the Biennale into a true Design City.Instead of having one guest of honour, Interieur now hosts seven specially commissioned 'Future Primitives' project rooms; installations by groundbreaking designers, artists and architects such as Nendo based in Japan, Troika, UK, Makkink & Bey, The Netherlands, David Bowen, USA, Ross Lovegrove, UK, Greg Lynn, US and Muller Van Severen, Belgium.The catalogue includes the same new energy, and represents the essence of the Biennial. It offers insight into the vision and ideas of the Future Primitives, essays on architects and designers, text and photos on Belgian designer of the year, Alain Gilles, and of course the products and the practical information on the top design brands represented at INTERIEUR 2012.Text in English, French & Dutch.Also available:Design Biennale Interieur 2010 ISBN: 9789058563613

Whispering Flowers showcases Ikebana arrangements especially inspired by the beauty of a single kind of flower - their colours, lines, shapes and meaning. This book goes back to the basics and has seasonal flowers (that can be found all around the globe and in every climate) dictate the shapes, materials and colours of the arrangements. This approach, letting one kind of flower play the leading role, leaves room for a lot of interpretation and can give rise to both the traditional arrangement as well as more contemporary Ikebana pieces. A colourful addition to our previously released books on Ikebana: Ikebana Today, Contemporary Ikebana and Ikebana through all Seasons.
