Sudpsuez The Tulip Garden: Growing and Collecting Species, Rare and Annual Varieties
Words by Polly Nicholson
Tulips are one of the world’s most popular flowers, with over 2,500 varieties produced in the Netherlands each year. This spectacular book showcases a unique collection of rare and covetable tulips at Blacklands, the beautiful English country garden of tulip expert Polly Nicholson.
Combining the flower’s rich cultural history with growing advice, Nicholson provides a comprehensive introduction to cultivating species, historic Dutch and English Florists’ tulips, and annual garden tulips. Featuring all types of tulip – from wild, species tulips to old Dutch cultivars, as well as English Florists’, and the ever popular annual garden tulips – she also offers modern context and sensible and practical advice for gardeners, based on her personal horticultural experience.
Bringing to life varieties that date back to the 16th century, Nicholson demonstrates how these treasured bulbs and more modern varieties of these enchanting spring flowers can be grown today – whether in herbaceous borders, naturalized in grass, in containers, gravel, meadow settings, or in the garden for cutting.
The Tulip Garden is an essential reference for tulip lovers, florists, and gardeners, but also, with newly commissioned photography by Andrew Montgomery, an inspirational resource, tapping into the zeitgeist for sustainable flowers and organic gardening, focusing on one of the world’s most popular flowers.

Sudpsuez The World of Atelier Vime : A Renaissance of Wicker and Style
Words by Benoît Rauzy and Anthony Watson and Marie Godfrain
Using natural materials—wicker, osier, rattan, rope—to create exquisite handwoven decorative objects, French lifestyle brand Atelier Vime has redefined luxury.
When Atelier Vime’s cofounders discovered that their eighteenth-century hôtel particulier had previously been a basket-weaving workshop, they dedicated themselves to reviving the vanishing artisanal craft. They replanted willow shrubs, hired local artisans, and designed a contemporary collection of decorative objects with their associate Raphaëlle Hanley. Karl Lagerfeld was an early admirer and, according to Architectural Digest, Atelier Vime swiftly became “the industry secret for designers.” Today, customers around the world—from private homeowners to notable designers including Pierre Yovanovich, Kelly Wearstler, Aerin Lauder, Jake Arnold, Virginia Tupker, and Beata Heuman—flock to La Maison Vime at Vallabrègues in Provence to source Vime’s unique home furnishings that are handmade in France.
The duo behind Atelier Vime invites readers to discover their idyllic universe in their homes across France, where their unusual color palettes—from periwinkle blue to burnished ocher—offer a striking backdrop for their Medici column vase, woven screens, rope lamps, and rattan furniture. Their personal collections include classical and modern art, antique textiles, Provençal ceramics, and miniature baskets, which are combined with their contemporary creations to form the signature Vime style. Bringing the ancestral savoir faire of basketry into the twenty-first century, using materials and methods that are as sustainable as they are sumptuous, Atelier Vime celebrates an impeccable lifestyle rooted in the synergic relationship between luxurious design and nature.

Sudpsuez Tibetan Rugs: The Rudi Molacek Collection
Words and Photographs by Rudi Molacek
Artist and photographer Rudi Molacek has assembled, with an artist's eye, an idiosyncratic collection of more than 300 Tibetan carpets, rugs, mats, seat-, bench- and saddle-covers. Between the 15th and the 20th centuries they were woven for both sacred and secular purposes by Tibetan nomads and villagers, and in the shadow of monastic centers across the Tibetan Plateau. The first volume presents Tibetan rugs intended for sitting, sleeping, meditation and horse riding, as well as those made to furnish the region's prestigious temples and monasteries ― an expression of the relative wealth and status of their owners. The second volume focuses on a group of so-called ‘Wangden' rural rugs, characterized by a unique weaving technique, some of which have been the subject of an illuminating exercise in radiocarbon dating to establish the antiquity of the tradition.
