A better Adirondack

August 27, 2007 by Andrea Bellamy 3 Comments

While I’ve never had an appropriate setting in which to place an Adirondack chair (lakefront cottage pending), I have always appreciated their comfort and practicality (built-in drink “tables”!). Room & Board’s Emmet chair and ottoman is a pretty sweet take on the original. Sleek and sexy – and made from 100 percent post-industrial recycled plastic. […]

Ultimate in outdoor furniture

July 3, 2007 by Andrea Bellamy 7 Comments

I’m completely in love with A Stacking Hommage, the final project of one Dirk Winkel, recent graduate in Industrial Design from University of the Arts, Berlin, which he describes as “three classics of design history, redesigned as a low-price, stackable plastic chair.” (Barcelona version shown.)

It’s another soggy day here in Vancouver, and because the weather report tells me I won’t be spending any time in my garden this weekend, I’m substituting actual gardening with the online version of a garden tour. I’m talking about Design Assistant, from CoastalLiving.com. It features all kinds of interior and outdoor rooms and treatments […]

March 19, 2007 by Andrea Bellamy 4 Comments

Eva Solo: Danish design for outdoor living

February 16, 2007 by Andrea Bellamy 3 Comments

So I just crawled out from under my rock and discovered Eva Solo, launched in 1997 as an offshoot of a 60-year old Danish company. Driven by design duo Claus and Henrik, Eva Solo makes sweet product magic. I am pretty much in love with each of their products – and there are many in […]

Textiles for the garden

October 17, 2006 by Andrea Bellamy 2 Comments

Bon matin, mes amis! Thought you’d appreciate hearing about the latest in Parisian garden fashion. Deborah Sommers wrote to tell me about her made-to-measure garden art textiles, “designed with the urban garden in mind, and a great way to add design and greenery to even the smallest balcony.” The quick-drying fabric banners, which come in […]
