In 2013 designer and illustrator Michelle Mason co-founded Mason
& Painter, a vintage emporium on Columbia Road, in east London,
a street famed for its Sunday flower market. Michelle's inspiration
for Flower Market: Botanical Style at Home is the wide variety of
seasonal plants and flowers available right outside her shop.
Buying locally and in tune with the seasons is at the heart of her
philosophy Using salvage and reclaimed objects, vintage glassware
and ceramics as props and backdrops, Flower Market is brimming with
texture, pattern and exciting and inspiring ways to group and
display flowers, plants and succulents. In Flower Market: Botanical
Style at Home Michelle draws on her design experience, playing with
shape, colour and composition to create stunning combinations
showing how to make the most of fresh flowers and bring botanical
style into the home.
