In/outdoor vegetable garden by Matali Crasset

It has taken me a while to get an image -if not a picture of this great new design seen at Maison et Objet 09:


Is it a kitchen in a garden?
Is it a garden in a kitchen? 

Will the distinction still be around in 20 years?


The design is now on tour to help inspire new ways of seeing 'food' and reconciling urban living and food production. And that in itself is fantastic!

'Cuis'in Nature" by Matali Crasset and Frederick e. Grasser-Hermé
is  a domestic vegetable garden, including  a fruit- and vegetable-pantry, and naturally a kitchen to prepare and share  the production! .

Lovely find by a French Deco blog [ le blog deco.fr] :

I hope she makes a variety of sizes available to all!

The Tipple Mini Glasshouse: a lesson for modern designers

Outdoor decor is attracting the elite designers...not all with real knowledge of the magical world of plant growing !  So here is a leaf out of a more classic brand's book.
Tipple Containers  makes lovely lovely lovely containers and just added The Tipple Glasshouse.
This is really a function driven innovation :
suitable for growing edibles such as tomatoes, salad crops and vegetables in otherwise poor conditions.  Perfect for propagation and protecting tender plants through the winter. Compact glasshouse design suitable for any garden size.

Garden / outdoor tub by Organic sculptor Paulina Wojciechoska

A qualified architect and active promoter of sustainable living, Paulina Wojciechoska created Earth Hands to further this project by developing earth made homes. And I love her tub - a great option if the full Monty option is a bit out of touch!

Earth tub 

 

From Ask the experts:

Paulina Wojciechowska was born in Poland and spent her formative years in Afghanistan and India. She became fascinated by age-old architecture created by artisan builders. After studying architecture in Great Britain, she traveled to the United States and Mexico to study natural, alternative and indigenous building methods. She apprenticed with Nader Khalili at Cal-Earth, as well as with strawbale building pioneers Athena and Bill Steen at the Canelo Project. Out of this experience, she has written the book below which is the first book published on the emerging methods of earthbag building. Paulina has established a nonprofit trust, "Earth, Hands & Houses," which supports building projects that empower indigenous people around the world to build their own shelter from natural materials that are available locally. She would be happy to consult on any project that would employ her broad range of training and skills.

Designers intertwine nature and design

Yet another example of the growing trend to disolve the barrier between furniture and nature :
At Red Dot
'This swing is the direct result of a thriving fantasy and expresses a particular affinity to nature and poetry.
The seat can be filled with soil and plants and when, for example, the first budding branches of a vine rise up to the sky, the swing turns into a special place for relaxation in either your garden or living room. '
