Emily Thompson Flowers

At Emily Thompson Flowers, we collaborate with the rough hand of nature. We herald the earth and its treasures through considerate sourcing and compost.

We strive to always bring the eye back to the forest and field, the swamp and the bog. At Emily Thompson Flowers, we collaborate with the rough hand of nature, drawing the eye to the infinite glory of the living world with piercing contrasts and juxtapositions of materials. For our sometimes ornate, other times austere and stripped back designs, we seek out rare, ill-used, and unlikely flowers, se

ed pods, branches and undergrowth. Our materials come from local growers and a network of foragers whenever possible.

Finally taking a breath to share the wonderful experience of the Chelsea Flower Show last month. We were so fortunate to be invited by to take part in Creative Spaces, a new area in the installations that asks us to imagine the future of floristry.

Our design was titled Remnants, a living eulogy to a sculptural fallen pine. The tree had become gnarled and severed from its roots, but new life flourished in a habitat cradled by its snaking branches. Through this specimen and the environment we imagined for it, viewers were invited to embrace the natural world in all its stages of reproduction and rot.

We also had the great fortune of tearing many of the materials for the piece from our very great friends and ‘s majestic landscape in Worcestershire. (Honestly, this was the only enticement I needed to agree to the project.) The invasive equisetum of their beautiful dappled wood became a swampy muse, what had been a snack for dinosaurs now rising out of our biers. We built campfire structures from lichen-encrusted cherry branches and crutches from green-tinged yew.

Please join me for a discussion with my friends, the amazing florists and at the in London, Tuesday May 20th.

We are all connected by a shared commitment to the natural world, and are led by nature to create designs that embrace the sometimes chaotic, aggressive and subtle aspects of the living world.

We will discuss our work, the exhilaration and challenge of the medium and our aesthetic connections with one another.

I will also be discussing my new book and signing copies after the talk.

Impermanence is built into every element of the New York-based floral designer Emily Thompson’s work - from the limited life span of the dramatic organic sculptures she creates for clients like Ferrari and the fashion label Ulla Johnson to the way she conveys ideas to her team of creative collaborators. “I instruct them on what the goals are in quite florid language, l’ve been told, but none of it’s written down,”
says. “It’s kind of lost, the way a lot of our flower pieces are if they aren’t recorded.” With “Emily Thompson Flowers,” a new book that covers the designer’s 15-year career, Thompson now has a more permanent testament to her fantastical arrangements that swoop, drape and spill across tables and floors.

It’s a year since this brain-melting experience of designing for this very singular occasion in India. Nearly everything we used was sourced from India, including my very favorite beans yet, those of the Katsagon tree.

Happy anniversary and R! What a dream.

Massive thanks to Mrs. T and to all of our collaborators in Delhi! We shall meet again one day soon.

When the day is full of freezing rain and slush, imagine what’s coming through the snow very soon… these skunk cabbages have “spathes” which can create as much as 63 degrees Fahrenheit to melt the snow around them.

Another outtake from our new book, EMILY THOMPSON FLOWERS coming April 15, available for preorder now at the link in bio.

A few shots of process. Our book project took over the studio, where a series of swamps at different scales took shape. This magnolia/waterlily didn’t make the cut but I still love the bud forms together, one hairy and rigid, the other sinuous and clammy.
