Produktinformationen zu „Ulf Nordfjell: Fourteen Gardens “
Renowned for his dynamic blend of Swedish modernism and English romanticism, Ulf Nordfjell is one of the world's leading contemporary garden designers. This is the first book in English about his work. A master of composing with perennials, grass, and bulbs, Nordfjell also has a deep engagement with the landscapes that surround his gardens. Materials such as Swedish granite, steel, and timber give his gardens structure and a powerful identity, animated by water and light. Every detail of his composition is meticulously worked out, and the gardens reveal new aspects through the seasons. This book covers 14 of Nordfjell's gardens, including his 2009 Best in Show and 2007 Gold Medal gardens at Chelsea. Accompanying Ulf Nordfjell's thoughtful and lucid text are Jerry Harpur's superb photographs, which were taken over several years and represent the gardens in all seasons in both general views and details.
Autoren-Porträt von Ulf Nordfjell
Acclaimed landscape architect Ulf Nordfjell works on public as well as private gardens throughout Sweden and worldwide. He was awarded a Gold Medal for his 2007 garden 'A Tribute to Linnaeus' at the Chelsea Flower Show, and not only a second Gold but Best in Show at his next appearance in 2009. Brought up in northern Sweden, the son of a forester, he has a deep commitment to the environment, and his distinctive style is a fusion of ecology and the Swedish sense of modern design. He is based in Stockholm. Jerry Harpur photographs gardens and plants all over the world. He has contributed pictures to well over three hundred books and won awards on both sides of the Atlantic, including the Garden Writers' Guild Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. He has a special interest in international garden design, which he has spent years photographing and researching.
