Opposites Attract","description":"Our world is built upon the fusion of opposites going back and forth until they harmonise. Like the poles of a magnet, these antithetical concepts define each other and cannot exist without each other. Contrasts, opposites and differences keep life interesting – even though keeping a balance between two opposing forces is often difficult, especially when we understand that one cannot be achieved without experiencing the other.   Floral design, Ikebana in particular, is often a balancing act in itself. Ikebana pieces strive for harmony between straight and curved lines, a right balance between taking away and adding elements, between adhering to the rules and breaking them.   Opposites Attract uses the idea of opposition and contrast as a starting point. Starting from an antonym pair, more than 150 international ikebanists created inspiring and powerful arrangements expressing two opposing feelings and concepts. The multifaceted ways in which these contrasts were given shape, attest to the creativity and ingenuity of our artists and the sheer versatility of Ikebana.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746170511633,"sku":"NGR9789058566966","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52655424962833,"sku":"NLS9789058566966","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/905856696X.jpg?v=1751418185"},{"product_id":"international-floral-art-2024-2025-book-katrien-van-moerbeke-9789058567185","title":"International Floral Art 2024-2025","description":"The vibrant collection of floral design compiled in this festive tenth edition of the International Floral Art is once again testimony to the boundless nature of our human imagination.

Both require a keen sense of creativity, attention to detail, and the ability to bring together various elements in a harmonious way. Even though there are many similarities between both, such as rhythm, patterns and harmony, perhaps the most intriguing link between music and floral design is the concept of mood and emotion. Just like how different types of music can evoke various emotions in us, flower displays and ikebana arrangements also have the ability to convey certain feelings. The expressive nature of music and Ikebana brought us the inspiration for the book Music inspires Ikebana. Inspired by the title, the era, the lyrics, the overall mood, the melodies, the tonality, the structure, rhythm and patterns of five very different pieces of classical music – in different genres and styles, from baroque to the 21st century, and from subdued and minimal to loud and energetic – ikebana artists from all over the world came up with a very interesting and refreshing mix of designs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51064980766993,"sku":"NIN9789058567307","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52585814884625,"sku":"NLS9789058567307","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9058567303.jpg?v=1753597163"},{"product_id":"international-floral-art-2018-2019-book-katrien-van-moerbeke-9789058565914","title":"International Floral Art 2018\/2019","description":"Contemporary floral design thrills, amazes and delights.

Ikebana Inspired by Emotions demonstrates the eloquence of ikebana and its power to capture and transfer emotions.        Ikebana is sometimes accused of being hermetic; difficult to understand or appreciate for outsiders. It is claimed that it is an art which merely involves applying strict, imposed rules and that a lack of spontaneity and frivolity makes it a style of flower arranging that is difficult to enjoy. This beautiful new book demonstrates the opposite.       Eight carefully selected black and white photos of strong, universal emotions are the source of inspiration for this publication. Many international artists interpret these visuals and translate them into designs that stir the senses and touch the heart. Ikebana: Inspired by Emotions shows how ikebana arrangements can pull at the heartstrings and evoke emotions that are recognisable to everyone.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52655433220369,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52655433613585,"sku":"NLS9789058565822","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789058565822.jpg?v=1762220572"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-katrien-van-moerbeke.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
