Aromatherapy outdoor furniture in Milan

Ecolect is a blog dedicated to sustainable ideas and creations.
The author was in Milan and spotted a rather surprising chair...( left on her image) destined to provide the benefits of aromatherapy. Gardeners reading my blog will scream: is that not the point of gardens themselves? Well maybe. But I also believe that watering flowers will soon be considered rather outrageous and private city gardens will have less and less flowers ( new generations are not getting the skills, plus all the water issues etc...point in that way) So having a single feature like this could be a sign of things to come. I love it!

Wall mounted patio heaters by HEAT

Heat_patio_heater_large1 I love this wall mounted heater: its 'barely there' quality is fanstastic when you consider the bulkiness of other options.

Chromatherapy heads outdoors with Urquiola and Moroso

_k2w72641Seen on Dezeen - reporting on Milan: even though I do not really love these designs because I feel they are' too this season' and are not of the kind you will love 2 years from now, I will salute the creative slant Urquiola brings.

THE LITTLE WILD GARDEN OF LOVE
Showroom Moroso 16-21.04.2008

There are many companies presenting an outdoor collection this year and one of these is Moroso, who interprets outdoor products in its own unique and original way bucking the trend and commissioning Tord Boontje to design this season’s installation, believing there is no-one better than him capable of generating the garden of our dreams.

Solar showers go chic : Emoe ends the era of 'bulky but green'

Love this find by Born Rich .... 'Emoe garden shower that features a teak base and frame. It can be operated by garden hose or plumbed hot and cold directly. Its cylindrical sensor accumulates heat from sunlight and water returns to desired temperature. Its reservoir has a capacity of 25 L, so your whole family can enjoy consecutive showers.'
