Outdoor planter with dog house : maybe cool for the Obama's adopted dog ;-)

Where to shop : Sabz

When it comes to pure contemporary designs be it furniture, lighting or planters, created just two years ago, Paris based Sabz offers an outstandingly consistent selection of all things outdoor . So even if you are not European based to order on line, check them out and see what the market has to offer and then track the item in your home market!

I love to see designs used and find browsing Amazon inspiring - even if just window shopping. Many best books now have a ' look inside' option!

Garden pots and planters: brands to watch and shop

Italian outdoor specialists, Serralunga have modern planters of various sizes and styles,

of which many now famous oversized planters worth checking out [ www.serralunga.com ]. 
On top of this creative range, they work with the elite and edgiest outdoor designers to produce pieces far closer to sculptures than traditional planters. In Milan 07 they showcased such outlandish designs  by Lovegrove and Zaha Hadid.

A further brand to check out with no delay is Belgian Atelier Vierkant. Watch the trailer on their site and you will immediately understand the vision and talent behind a very unique company producing what are certainly some of the most interesting planters in Europe.

It is not just exceptional craftsmanship that will be revealed but a true sense of design as it should be..Link www.ateliervierkant.com

Domani was probably one of the first to up the way we think about planters.

Well known for colorful polyester ones, they always present new shapes and strong textures at Maison et Objet - showing they are keeping their place in the top slot.

Viteo new fresh design : the garden wall by Gordon Tait

Clever design as well as fresh: the garden wall is made out of a series of planters: how you use them or set them up is up to your creativity!

Viteo brings few designs to the market, but always winners! 

 

New copper and zinc pots and planters by Bronzino at the Chelsea Flower show

In  terms of interior design, I find a mix of old and new quite lovely and almost always more interesting than a total modern look. I guess the rules applies outdoors too. I love the new  high end planters by Bronzino used against a backdrop of contemporary architecture.www.Bronzino.co.uk
