Garden furniture

We have a very exciting urban garden in the making and this sculptural fire from Glamm Fire will be the cherry on the cake.
Stunning in design, beautifully finished and exquisitely detailed in Corten steel, the fire also uses Bioethanol, which is 100% green.

We cannot wait to see this in place.

This period property which is based in the Primrose Hill conservation area, was built in the mid 1800’s. Part of Chalcot Square, it had a long, overgrown and rather dense garden.

The build was completed in the summer of 2014, the original London yellow brick garden walls were freed from a heavy blanket of dark Ivy. Smooth modern cut sandstone paving adds a level of refinement to the patio area around the house and a lower level parterre is paved with coarse red brick and ornate edging. At night the garden is lit, offering views which extend the feeling of space from the house.

The planting consists of gravel beds with relaxed perennials in shades of pink, blue and white. These are set off by edges of formal clipped box, which add formality and balance the design. Climbers were chosen to creep over the walls and will give off heady scents all year round.

The new terrace is designed for entertaining and the seating area offers a place to relax and look out towards the garden. Beautiful large jars and sculptures decorate the garden and draw the eye through it.

A little imagination goes a very long way for the architectural design duo aptly named The Practice of Everyday Design. They took a log, hired a lumberjill who hacked holes into it, then a motorcycle saddle maker lined the holes with hand-sewn upholstered flame red material. The result is a pretty saucy bit of furniture which would look mightily appealing surrounded by lush green plants.

Check out these planters by Kornegay Design. Sleek designs, colours and finishes that would look sensational planted with some architectural grasses or small trees.
