I make use of solid colour gloss laminate for this set of wall feature and tv console design.

I can spot a garden designers garden a mile off.   Its the experiments that generally give it away.  Designers gardens (in my experience) dont tend to be the perfect havens that we create for our clients.  Rather they are the try out zones for the latest of ideas.  My own garden is mish mash of things that are in various proving stages of scientific theory postulation doesnt always cut it.

Last year, I set out to prove that I could have a soft mossy look in a high sun area.   Miniature stonecrop (Sedum requieni) was planted between the cobblestones of a new path and I have been awaiting fresh green mounds mixed with stone ever since.   But its not happening.turns out the Stonecrop doesnt spread very fast and more importantly it doesnt choke out weeds.

Woe, the following large-scale ‘full moon odyssey’ floor-mattress or bed or as they name it pillow … left me with my mouth slightly agape, I would love to have something like this and you?

The pillow was designed by Korean designer lily suh & zoono of i3lab and it seems to be a must-have for those who adore everything unusual and fun. What is more, this pillow will easily ensure a dream-like experience as if your are sleeping on the moon.

Just have a closer look at these prints, don’t you think they are awesome and have a lot in common with a real image of the moon which includes 65 individual frames ofthe lunar mosaic images taken 23 february 2005 from nantes by astronomy photographer norbert rumiano?

The product that I’ll highlight today only exists out of one steel rail and three steel cubes and can be used to store CD’s, DVD’s, Books, … You can hang the boxes in any way you can imagine, this way you will never get bored easily by this flexible peace of furniture. QueB is a simple storage rack that is being ingeniously fixed to the wall, so none of the screws are visible.

QueB is created by 3 young people from Belgium with different backgrounds. They call themselves FARZ and are located in Leuven. QueB is their first step into the world of industrial design. I got the opportunity to talk to Bart Houben, one of the people behind this young design collective to find out what is involved, and if it was difficult to go from an idea to a finished object that is ready to be sold.

I have always been attracted to design, most of all cutting edge industrial design. I

Have you noted any public assurances of safety that later turned into cautions and warnings regarding the latest and greatest new chemical or genetic discovery for the garden? Consider concerns over the impact of Imidacloprid on honeybees and questions regarding the quality of the research that was used to support its approval.

Who knows where the recent USDA approval of engineered alfalfa will lead us, or whether the deregulation of Roundup Ready Kentucky Bluegrass will create an even bigger problem of herbicide resistant super-weeds! There have been previous reports of deadly killer compost contaminated with Clopyralid, and now questions are being raised regarding another “approved” product that is now being linked to some unadvertised consequences.

I think theres good reason to be concerned and cautious about the products that we use both on the farm and in the backyard, regardless of what the regulators or manufacturers have to say about the safety of their application. Eve
