Description Whether it is a delicate hand held posy or a carpet of lavender, or a bold sculptured piece John Carter's designs always have the ‘wow factor”, a mix of polished Hollywood glamour with a contemporary twist finished to perfection. John’s clients include many of the world’s leading style connoisseurs which is testament to his talent; Charles Saatchi, Sir Terence Conran, Nina Campbell, Emma Forbes, Kelly Hoppen, Lady Helen Taylor, Charles Worthington, Kathy Phillips (Vogue) and Cartier are regular devotees. His exceptional flair with flowers and design came to prominence when he set up The Flower Van in 1990 within Sir Terence Conran’s restaurant Bibendum in South Kensington. The former Michelin building, proved to be the perfect platform to showcase his designs. John’s Flower Van quickly became one of the most talked about floral boutiques in London. In 1999 John moved to his present studio in Fulham which has allowed him to develop the business and be able to give his clients unrivalled personal attention and service for which he is so renowned; the heart of John’s talent lies his unique sensitivity to his clients needs, winning him friends as well as admiration. “ John has a rare natural talent for making even the most intricate arrangements look effortlessly simple. He has a keen eye for balance and a great sense of style; his passion and enthusiasm are always strikingly obvious with each piece of his work. His creations are pure luxury.” Charles Worthington. John’s design philosophy always focuses on natural beauty, style as opposed to trend. His creations transcend fashion, believing that “nothing dates like a wedding photograph”.
