Art & Flowers | Flower Arranging with Frida Kim

Part of our 25th Anniversary Event Series

Working with a variety of glass and ceramic vessels from Flow’s collection, as well as personal pieces that our collectors brought in from home, Frida showed us how to bring them to life with flowers.

Frida Kim

“Design, beauty, art, nature and fashion have always inspired me. For many years I ran my own custom jewellery business in Seoul. After moving to London I fell in love with English winter gardens and the beauty of English Flowers. My curiosity and passion took over my life. I have had the fortune to learn from great teachers who shared their wisdom and skills with me.”

Philosophy

“Each pure in its imperfection and alluring in its beauty, flowers carry stories to be told. It is these stories that captivate me as a florist. I am driven to give flowers a voice and make their stories heard. Taken by the ephemeral and delicate grace of each flower, I become a vessel to unite their elegance and wild nature. I strive to do each story justice by the meticulous choice and combination of colours, creating depth and warmth though the tones and textures of each petal, leaf and stem. Each flower and foliage are given their own space – a balance that allows each to shine without outshining the others. In their togetherness, flowers become the words and emotions to their own story. Just as it is at the hands of the florist that flowers gain meaning, it is through the careful arrangement of flowers that I expresse my life. In the spaces between the petals you will discover my story.”
