Encyclopedia of Flowers

Lars Müller is a publishing house based in Baden, Switzerland. It is renowned for its carefully edited and designed publications on architecture, design and contemporary art.

Encyclopedia of Flowers is a collaboration between floral artist Azuma and photographer Shiinoki. The book showcases Azuma’s botanical arrangements – unusual and exotic plants that wouldn’t typically occur in nature; with Shiinoki‘s photographs – exposing their fragility and inevitable decay. This volume includes an index identifying all 2,000 photographed species.
