Need "Modern" inspiration

[rewolf]

I have a new hotel client who wants only designs that are very modern, edgy, tomorrow. These are for the lobby.

Can you suggest some websites with inspiration?

I did a google search on "exotic floral arrangements" and "hotel lobby floral arrangements" and found these that I really liked.

There is a "cool website" thread somewhere on here too, with tons of great sites.

to me something very(?) modern and tomorrow when it comes to the floral design is something geometrical in shape, with minimum or zero greens, simple in material combination (not more than 5 plant materials) and controversial.......i hope it helps a little bit :0)

THREE WORDS - Hitomi Gilliam AIFD.

Any of her published books have tons of cool, edgy, modern designs.

good call Sprout - I had forgotten about the artwork of Daniel Ost and Life3

Also, thought of another source - Your Accent Decor supply catalog - featuring designs created by a true dutch master - Els Tuennisen

.....couldn't bite my tongue again...........
i bow to Danial Ost........but........i'm very much in love with land art of Andy Goldsworthy...and i couldn't not to notice that Daniel Ost "borrowed" quite a few things from Andy Goldsworthy (and he actually did it in a quite direct way without giving any credentials to the second one)

Goldsworthy ??? - THat's an artist unfamiliar to me....Have any weblinks, Sites, URL's about him?

Also Rewolf - Go to the FlowerChat Social group - Kansas City Here We Come - look at the pictures of arrangements there.....You will find some cool inspiration right there on FC.

I LOVE Andy Goldsworthy too! Maybe that's why I groove on Ost? Rocks never looked so good - saw this last summer...

Here are the websites of a couple of friends of mine...

Tiare Floral Design

Baudouin Roelants

Very modern....Tomasi's style (Tiare) has wonderful Island influences.

Baud's style is modern European...he's from Belgium.

here, Rick :
http://www.goldsworthy.cc.gla.ac.uk/
but this is just one website......you can google him and you'll get another couple dozens.
yes, he is amazing!!!! as well as his tecniques - for some of his sculpture even to hold everything together he uses only natural materials........
i was lucy to see some of his work - nothing to compare with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[goodie]

Hotels in my area want fantastic modern designs...for £10 each !!!!
Let hope you a have a great big FAT budget to fulfil the 'wow' factor ?

Rick, your local library may have some of his books, usually in the sculpture section but they may be under land-art, incredible work, he is an inspiration!

Leatham pops in my mind when you mention hotel lobbies, awesome!
