My Urban Garden Deco Guide : Garden pots and planters

The functional sculpture

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?

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.

'Kadabra' and Caprice are two of their designs (available is white, orange and green).

Practicality : Designers get real

In the 90 's and early naughties, glam outdoor pots were brought to the market and wowed us all.

Now the decade opens with a new trend.Slowly but surely, designers' attention has shifted to practical issues that people have with planters: portability and lack of space.Here is one design by www.Flora-online.de.Coasters allow you to move them around and easily bring them indoors.

Clever.

Divide and Grow

Following up on dividers A lovely alternative is to go for a divider that doubles up as a planter. This year Viteo brought the Gardenwall to the market and created quite a buzz. Designed by Gordon Tait, the stackable units can contain a selection of plants in a variety of colors or work just as a simple green wall

Planters? its about making a statement...a subtle one

The chicest London boutique Hotels have chosen planters by http://www.bronzino.co.uk/
to sit outside their front door and greet guests.
Yes, planters are more than a functional item ...they set the tone.

I love Bronzino for the quality of their work. Chic and not crying it out loud.

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