Blumenhaus issue 1

The very first issue of the inspiring Blumenhaus magazine is now available with me. So happy and proud to have the full collection in my shop. 

Blumenhaus is a luxurious hybrid of an art book and a magazine founded and designed with care by Camille Gressier & Isabelle Laydier Kristensen.

Blumenhaus travels back in time with a philosophical and romantic approach. Written exclusively in English by a group of professional editors & journalists specialized in botany, it focuses as much on the aesthetic side – mixing contemporary visuals and antique archives – as on bringing insight to its readers.

Blumenhaus is more than just a book, it will become part of your interior as a complete lifestyle object.
