V roce 2012 se součástí Nakladatelství Slovart stalo nakladatelství Brio. Nakladatelství Brio vydávalo ve spolupráci s předními spisovateli a výtvarníky nádherně ilustrované originální příběhy a sbírky pohádek pro děti od šesti do dvanácti let. Pro starší děti, mládež a dospělé Brio nabízelo sebrané spisy pohádek a bajek od renomovaných spisovatelů, doplněné o to nejlepší z klasické literatury celého světa. V této tradici pokračujeme také my v rámci stejnojmenné edice.
Jsme výhradní distributor nakladatelství TASCHEN pro Českou republiku
Celebrate the beauty and creativity of the world’s greatest contemporary gardens through this stunning survey highlighting the leading designers of today
The Contemporary Garden showcases 300 outstanding gardens in more than forty countries across the globe. Curated in collaboration with an international team of horticultural experts, this wide-ranging collection includes iconic public gardens such as the High Line and Changi Airport Garden, as well as private gems, such as a dreamy hillside garden in Morocco by Umberto Pasti and Anna Wintour’s elegant garden in upstate New York by Miranda Brooks.
Beautifully designed and illustrated, The Contemporary Garden celebrates each garden with a gorgeous large-format image and insightful description. Readers will discover the work of renowned garden designers and landscape architects, such as Fiona Brockhoff, Dan Pearson, Sarah Price, and Bernard Trainor, alongside projects by rising stars and owner-makers.
Organized alphabetically by designer or studio name, the book’s pages reveal a striking range of contemporary garden styles – naturalistic, community, wild, urban, botanical, dry, topiary, minimalist, edible, flower, and more – demonstrating how our evolving stylistic and horticultural aesthetic fosters an increasingly strong connection with the natural world.
Both an inspirational resource and an authoritative reference, The Contemporary Garden will delight professional, recreational, and armchair gardeners of all ages.
