Prvo, susret sa suprugom Elizabe- tom, sa kojom imam dva klinca i koja je oslobodila moju pozitivnu energiju i usmerila me prema po- slu koji danas radim. Tu su i razni profesionalni susreti sa ljudima koji su verovali da sam poseban u cvet- nom dizajnu – kaže on. A šta se zapravo desilo? Me- nadžment čuvenog hotela, jednog od simbola Pariza, tražio je novog dizajnera cvetnih aranžmana. Đor- đe se prijavio na konkurs i posle dva i po meseca borbe sa drugim pariskim dizajnerima dobio je po- sao. U hotelu je provodio 18 sati dnevno jer je pariski Ric nadale- ko poznat po raskošno stilizova- nom cveću. Uspeo je da pronađe original- ni pristup aranžiranju cveća. Pr- vo, kad on radi, vaza nije sud u ko- ji se stavlja cveće, nego centralni element dekoracije. Drugo, u vaze stavlja epruvete i time samu vazu oblaže cvećem. Na kraju vizuelno dobijete kolekciju vaza sa bezbroj cvetova, a da pri tom svaki dolazi do izražaja. Po tome je Đorđe Var- da prepoznatljiv. – Otišao sam iz Rica kada je poče- lo renoviranje. Radovi su trajali više od tri godine, a kada je hotel ponovo otvoren, ugovor me više nije intere- sovao. Sada živim na malom ostrvu Sent Bartelemi, južno od Kube. Ta- mo sam otišao s porodicom na go- dišnji odmor u leto 2012. Nikad se nisam vratio u Pariz. Danas ceo svet zna za njega. Ži- vi u raju na zemlji, a radi po čita- vom svetu… – Svaki projekat je unikatan. Do sada mi je najlepše bilo u Moskvi, nikad me niko nije tako primio... Indija je takođe bila fenomenalna avantura, stotine hiljada cvetova i sedam različitih dekora u Delhiju i u Džajpuru. Trenutno radi na divnoj svadbi koja će se održati u Engleskoj kra- jem maja. Ali o tome zasad ne mo- že mnogo da govori. – Žena mi je dala zanimljivu di- jagnozu: hiperaktivni lenjivac. Ona je, inače, psiholog. Kad radim, radim 18 sati dnevno, a kad ne radim, onda uživam sa suprugom i dečacima. Ži- vot je suviše kratak da bismo stalno jurili za kintom... Niko me neće na- terati da napustim moje pusto ostr- vo – završava Đorđe.
Varda je uspeo da pronađe originalni pristup aranžiranju cveća po kojem je postao prepoznatljiv u celom svetu Varda succeeded in coming up with an original approach to flower arranging that made him recognisable all over the world
cause Paris’s Ritz is widely renowned for its gorgeously stylised flowers. He succeeded in coming up with an original approach to arranging flowers. First, when he does a vase it is not merely a con- tainer to put flowers in, but rather the cen- tral element of the decoration. Secondly, in the vase he places tubes itself, and thus the vase itself encapsulates the flowers. Final- ly, he ends up visually with a collection of vases with countless flowers, with each one being fully expressed. That is what makes Đorđe Varda recognisable. - I left the Ritz i when its renovation began. The works lasted more than three years. When the hotel re-opened last year, I was no longer interested in a contract. I now live on the small island of Saint Barthélemy (St Barts), located to the south of Cuba. I came here on holiday with my family in the summer of 2012. I’ve never returned to Paris. Today the whole world knows about him. He lives in a paradise on earth, and works all over the world... - Every project is unique. The best for me to date was in Moscow. Nobody ever received me like that before... India was al- so a phenomenal adventure, hundreds of thousands of flowers and seven different patterns in Delhi and Jaipur. He is currently working on a wonderful wedding project that will be held in Eng- land in late May ... But for now he can’t talk about that too much... - My wife gave me an interesting di- agnosis - hyper-active sloth. She is actu- ally a psychologist. When I work, I work 18 hours a day, and when I’m not work- ing then I enjoy myself with my wife and boys. Life is too short to constantly chase money... No one will force me to leave my desert island.
Vaza za njega nije sud u koji se stavlja cveće, nego centralni element dekoracije For him, a vase is not merely a container to put flowers in, but rather the central element of the decoration
Posao u Indiji bio je poseban izazov – stotine hiljada cvetova i sedam različitih dekora This job in India was a special challenge - thousands of flowers and seven different patterns
