My Urban Garden Deco Guide

Swedish born Alexander Lervik has been winning quite a few design awards recently.

So he is a name to watch. Within the portfolio of his work one finds a luminous outdoor swing:

Love this design by Vibia. Plis is the brand's new floor lamp. It is available in two heights and is tested to resist wind gushes. 

The lampshade with its 'pleated motif'  has a subtle retro flair. For any one who grew up in the 1970's it will remind them of those pleated silk ones that dominated the indoor decor scene!

We saw  these outdoor lights at the Milan Furniture Fair 2010 and so many people loved them... I had to share this design by Slide, experts in all this light /objects/furniture...

Why settle for functionality? ... seems to say Italian brand 21ST LIVINGART via its collection of light/planters.

Why not ensure pots and lights become stunning sculptures for your modern outdoor space? If you're looking for a way to add space and really bring an artistic edge to your garden or patio, this is the ideal way to do so. Pots can be incredible works of sculpture, and of course, when teamed with the right plants they can look even better.

So the next time you're gazing around and wondering how you can make your garden look as appealing as the idea of Free Online Bingo, no deposit, think about using pots and lights. With the right lights and the right shapes, the shadows and creative shape of your garden can really flourish.

The brand was at Maison et Objet and it drew my attention because the booth was buzzing with admirative visitors discovering this new kid on the block.

Quote: Modoluce's fun, illuminated furniture is once seen, never forgotten! The illuminated furniture range creates an extraordinary effect grouped together in sets of light up tables, light up stools, and other accessories - whether inside, or out on the patio. The Atollo collection, designed by Paolo Grasselli, consists of generous, low stools and tables. You can choose from the Atollo Outdoor round stools ideal for parties, or the Atollo Panca semi-circular benches for intimate groupings. Atollo Happyhour is a high table which features a hole in the middle, which can be filled with ice to keep your drinks chilled. Atollo Vertical is an upright 'O' that functions as sculptural lighting to complement the illuminated range! The Campanone Outdoor collection is also designed by Paolo Grasselli, and offers a 'pouf' shape that is used both as tables and stools. Modoluce outdoor furniture is a groovy decor solution to both lighting and seating.
