It may not be the latest book out there being published circa 2005 but its a good design style number. There is always a place for classical always a place for traditional and Bart works on the edge of both.... yet he sends out great contemporary pieces that will last long, design wise, shares his respect for colour from blanc through rouge to moody amber and brun. We like this book for its sustainabily,style as aforementioned ,and that Bart as one of Belgium's quiet Designers teaches,is published regularly in a Floral Design magazine and he's become of late a huge Design Master and teacher in Brazil now too.... what more is there to say ?
