Manoj Malde - Garden Designer
Former fashion designer Manoj Malde builds his first Chelsea Flower Show garden. Landscape designer Jack Dunckley follows his journey.
British landscape designer Manoj Malde has just designed and constructed his first garden for this year’s Chelsea Flower Show in London. But he is not your typical landscape artist. Having been an acclaimed fashion designer, his design is a homage to Mexican architect Luis Barragan. Manoj’s garden Beneath the Mexican Sky, celebrates standing out from the crowd with dramatic colours, vibrancy, and the use of raw, natural materials.
Fellow landscape designer Jack Dunckley is following Manoj from the first sketches to the last pebble in place. Whilst they share the same artistic passion, Jack is very much the opposite in style. Breaking with the rules of nature, Jack’s work is steeped in technology and conceptual design.
Jack explores how creative worlds can merge – and what a fashion designer can bring to the world of landscaping, as Manoj sees art through an entirely different lens.
