My Urban Garden Deco Guide

Quite like the  'informal' way this planters lives its life...as if had just been  'dropped there' or 'drilled in' as if it had always been there : design by gaeaforms.com.

Simple design ...delightfully close to the grass ...so rare in cities!
Well spotted by the design blog!

'Designed by Scott Collins, based in Chicago, Scott Collins is a seamster, carpenter, musician and designer, who has received awards for his designs from a number of renowned companies, including Whirlpool.
The Urban Lounge is the first in a series of outdoor modern furniture from the Chicago-based designer. The series will further include a side chair, bench and outdoor table, all of which will share a similar minimal aesthetic.'

Good find by Trendir who notes
' Paola Lenti is well-known for sumptuous casual furniture... and this modern collection is for 2009. As always, we trust Paola Lenti to inspire us with fascinating weaves that exude quality and demand a closer inspection. Inspired by the theme of 'Essential Nature', the collection offers welcoming pieces that are eye-catching but never overbearing. There is, if you like, something quite organic about the chairs, sofas and rugs of this modern furniture collection. It's not just the materials used - iron, stone and wood also complement the soft weaves - but also the shapes and colors. Each piece of furniture is structured, but not strictly. The forms appear relaxed and casual.
 Stunning hues of turquoise, blue, brown, grey and cream just feel right. The new 2009 furniture collection, by Paola Lenti.'

Is it a sign of an eco-conscious time? Or a secret message served in a fun way? Perhaps. Designer Oiva Toikka resurrect the Dodo - lost species - for Magis.
It is a toy, a seat or just a cool thing.

Will Dodo outplay Magis's famous Puppy in kids and adults heart ? Why not love both!

However amazing outdoor designs have become, in many cases they are still a twich bulky.
Designers are challenging this with SLIM designs.
Love this LITTLE WHITE SOFA ....brilliant in and oudoors

save energy with roller shades that deflect heat and provide a décor enhancement for any room.

Now a cool idea for the summer party season: garden/outdoor speakers to enjoy with a warm fire-pit or when the sun eventually comes out.
