'I love how I can enjoy the seasons through Sean Pritchard's joyously seductive and inspiring arrangements. Glorious!' John Derian'Atmosfloric is an absolute feast! Not only totall y beguiling and full of practical insights but it opens the doors on some of England and France's most beautiful places.' Sophie Conran'Sean's approach to colour is utterly refreshing, his words and photos are luxurious and sumptuous. He moves beyond the hackneyed approaches to colour and explores botanical palettes which create distinct atmospheric experiences of romance, energy and reflection. A true inspiration.' Jo Thompson'All hail Sean Pritchard! His displays are full of wit, stunning colour, singular authenticity - and just damn joyous.' Joely Richardson'I wish I could do the flowers like Sean does. Like all good artists he makes it seem effortless and easy - but the beauty and spontaneity he conjures is grounded in his intelligent study of how colour theory works - and this new manual for flowers is his testimony to us. If you use it properly it is bound to be transformative.' Ruth Guilding, The Bible of British Taste***Sean Pritchard's hotly anticipated new book, Atmosfloric: Flower colour in home and garden explores how to grow flowers for colour and bring them indoors for visual impact and atmosphere. The garden allows us to play with colour. Unlike the colours in our interiors, colour in the garden is fleeting and fickle, and with that comes an exciting opportunity to experiment with a changing performance of colour month after month and to bring those colours indoors for constantly changing displays.Colours are considered in three mood-based chapters: Romantic, Energetic and Reflective. For each chapter Sean reveals his favourite flowers to grow (with plant lists and inspirational planting plans) and shows them in a range of inspirational gardens and interiors.As with Outside In the photography is by the author, who has photographed some highly sought-after gardens and interiors in England and France including the iconic Charleston Farmhouse and Kettle's Yard, plus the homes of Richard E Grant, Sam McKnight, Marin Montagut, Butter Wakefield, Isabel and Julian Bannerman and Anthony Watson of Atelier Vime.Sean also takes a personal look at colour theory and explores the relationship that gardeners and gardener-artists have had with colour through history.Praise for Sean Pritchard's first book, Outside In:'I devoured this sumptuously British step-by-gorgeous-step guide to when to seed, plant and pluck in a single sitting.' - Richard E. Grant'Outside In: A Year of Growing & Displaying is that rare thing - the most ridiculously beautiful coffee-table book that is also a mine of useful information when it comes to what to grow when for year-round cut flowers. His interiors aren't too shabby, either.' - India Knight'Outside In is not only stuffed full of practical advice and tips on nurturing a garden and displaying plants and flowers in the home, it is also a thing of romantic beauty. Sean's overflowing, colourful arrangements have put a smile on my face countless times: he has a natural ability to put together flowers, books, fabrics and assorted treasures in a way that feels effortless, charming and deeply personal.' - Luke Edward Hall'Armed with flower-whisperer Sean A. Prichard's new book, mom can bedeck her home with backyard-blooms year-round-or just luxuriate in the pretty pictures while sipping a nice cuppa.' - Wall Street Journal'Inventive, considered, and thoughtful design.' - House & Garden Show more
