Reviews / Votes
"This man's hands can create anything that his mind can conceive."-Cees Nooteboom, Dutch novelist, poet, journalist
"His style embraces both Baroque exuberance and Zen minimalism."
-Bloomberg
"The world's leading flower designer... The respect Daniel Ost has for flowers is easily matched by the respect flower lovers have for him."
-CBS News
"He's the sum of many parts: an idealist, a conductor, a stage manager, an actor, and a visionary. While Daniel is perpetually pushing boundaries, his creative spirit rarely sleeps."
-Flower Magazine
"While bouquets and centerpieces are the core of his repertory, Ost is also known for his exuberant installations that venture into the realm of sculpture... Ost is just as likely to work with branches, seaweed and fruit as he is with fresh blossoms."
-The New York Times
"Leave Mr. Ost's book open on the coffee table and you will have no need for holly and ivy... Mr. Ost transforms blooms, boughs and bark into breathing architecture."-The New York Times
"This book is just beautiful. Each page and each image more breathtaking than the last... Simply stunning in production quality."-Irish Examiner
"Artist Daniel Ost arranges flowers in the same way that Frank Gehry, for example, arranges steel."-wallpaper.com
"From massive installations on a breath-taking scale to vase arrangements this book has it all and each and every piece is wonderful... A botanical artist of the highest calibre... [Daniel Ost] is filled with glorious designs and excellent photography... Superb."-Fusion Flowers Magazine
