It was an amazing week at Dwell on Design 2013! This annual week-long event, curated by the editors of Dwell magazine, showcases the most innovative and sustainable ideas in modern design, art and architecture. This year's show was by far the best we've seen and we were thrilled to be a part of it again. It also takes place in our own hometown of Los Angeles! How lucky is that?
It's artichoke season on California.
During a photoshoot for our new Sculptural Wildlife Habitats (Bee Bungalow, Birdy Bungalow and Birdy Cafe -blog post to come!) we stumbled upon a gorgeous un-staged scene in our edible garden studio that took our breath away. It involved a fruiting artichoke, a bougainvillea 'Orange King' an Akoris Garden Tuteur Sr. in Berry color and a Mira Garden Trellis Sr. in Aubergine color.
Pictured is her gorgeous composition of climbing rose 'Joseph's Coat' with our two Ina Wall Trellis Sr. in oxide finish. What a beautiful way to cover a boring house or garden wall. We say to her "stunning" and of course "thank you for such a lovely email!"
Pennsylvania is home to untold beautiful gardens and dedicated, passionate gardeners. It's a state filled with horticultural wonders (anyone who's visited the famed Longwood Gardens will attest). A Pennsylvania client named Georgia recently emailed us photos of her glorious spring-summer garden, lovingly filled with a palette of echinacea, roses, geranium and jasmine. Georgia's garden embraces the tradition of a classical landscape that is anchored by strong, architectural elements. We love the juxtaposition of her Akoris Garden Tuteurs against the traditional brick home, giving artful (and functional) structure to the looseness of her plantings.
Sunset Magazine's super-hip blog Westphoria gives a sneak peak of the magnificent installation they created of our Gracie Modern Arbor in their test gardens at the magazine's Menlo Park headquarters.
The entire TerraTrellis collection was on exhibit at this year's Dwell On Design conference in Los Angeles. Dwell on Design is the West Coast’s largest design event, curated by the editors of Dwell Magazine. This amazing three-day celebration brought together the best and brightest products, art, furniture, structures, ideas and thinkers in modern design today. Over 25,000 visitors including designers, architects, editors, bloggers, artists, design lovers and gardeners came out to experience this design event. We so enjoyed meeting thousands of you!
This just in: an innovative idea from our client Leslie Ford. Leslie artistically trained cherry tomatoes on the left and passion flower on the right of her kumquat Gracie Modern Arbor to create a very striking piece of visual (and edible!) modern art. Beautiful and functional composition. Brava, Leslie!
Our clients are so creative. So clever. So stylish. Observe this incredible assemblage of white bougainvillea growing inside our Lazio Vase Trellis in leaf color. This comes to us from the front yard of Carol Schaeffer (Laurel Canyon resident in Los Angeles). Carol clearly has a great eye for inventive, artful landscaping (notice the exotic silvery succulent and low-water plantings). Amazing!
