Organic style garden / outdoor shower

This wicker style outdoor shower is quite a change from the 'try hard to be sleek' designs that flood the market. Think Horchow are on to something!

Outdoor deck inspiration

I love this simple, smart and workable outdoor design by http://www.kellydeck.com.I love the fire place with the wood reserves on either side. Also worth noting the deck made sofa and planters for continuity is style.

In/outdoor cooking ... on lava ... is on trend

Yes, sadly summer is drifting away. BUT ... on a lovely day it is still great to hop out for a fresh lunch. I think this design, available in 6 colors , is brilliant because of its mobility and it is a healthier option.

Mobile induction cooking
by Pyrolave

Denali Design, 2007

Nomad-CookÂ® was conceived as a mobile cooking unit with an instantaneous induction source beneath the Pyrolave glazed lava stone surface. Only the unique qualities found within the natural Volvic lava stone allow this innovation.
Nomad-CookÂ® is easy to use & simple to clean (a quick wipe with a cloth). It can be used outside the whole year round â€“ on the terrace, in the garden, by the pool or on the veranda. Nomad-CookÂ® benefits from the experience of Pyrolave â€“ the glazed lava worktop specialist. Nomad-CookÂ® is the other way to cook â€œthe freedom to cook when-ever you want - where-ever you wantâ€.

Viteo new fresh design : the garden wall by Gordon Tait

Clever design as well as fresh: the garden wall is made out of a series of planters: how you use them or set them up is up to your creativity!

Viteo brings few designs to the market, but always winners!

MyYour : plastic outdoor designs in customisable colors

Seen on Tredir.com: they refer to the set as durable... guess that compensates for the lack of eco creds at the start!

'MyYour plastic outdoor furniture is appealing on so many different levels. This table and chair set, Community, is designed by More Design and represents the best use of plastic outdoor furniture. It is everything it should be: futuristic, compact, unusual, light-hearted â€“ not to mention durable. The color of Community is fully customisable, plus the table and four armchairs can be different colors to great effect (check out the vibrant shocking pink and acid green combo pictured!). The moulded plastic armchairs are also comfortable and spacious. Even better, a lighting kit is available for the base, bringing a whole new meaning to a romantic dinner with the gentle glow! With a grouping of Community together on the patio or poolside, you will also succeed in making an enticing environment to keep your guests outdoors long after the sun goes down. When not in use, the armchairs slot neatly under the table for an artsy, sculptural look. Contact MyYour for more information.'

Varaschin: imaginative garden / outdoor furniture

I just discovered this brand. I love that they have both creative designs like this sofa but also classics reinterpreted through new colors or slight variations on materials and shape.

A must see : http://www.varaschin.it/eng/index.asp?lang=inglese
