nemone Table by O’Hara Studio

Author — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:47:07 +0000

Fascinated with the concept of “sculptural textures,” a composition of repeating minor forms to establish a pattern with shadowed depth, Sean experimented with various shapes before arriving at this design. The resulting deeply shadowed surface pattern is reminiscent of the carpet sea anemone. The final pieces are cast in resin, electroplated in copper and then receive a hand finished patina.

Creative Ideas for Outdoor Rooms

Pick plastic furniture
Modern polyethylene patio furniture is a far cry from traditional plastic sets. These look chic, are gorgeously touchable, and are extremely durable. Avoid the spaceship look by working them alongside warm-wood decking and fencing.

Hang a canopy
Homemade fabric canopies provide both privacy and a romantic, boho feel. Use your boundary wall to anchor large pieces of semi-sheer material, then drape them over long poles in parasol bases or a washing line, or simply peg to handy branches.

Create an outdoor living room
Give a garden or patio an elegant mood by creating a living room feel. Choose a sofa-style bench covered in deep cushions, and accessorise with a coffee table and blankets for when the sun goes down..

Link outside and inside
Connect your garden seamlessly to your house with simple reflections. Here, the white tiles in the extension follow through to the garden, creating a cohesive whole.

Hang dramatic art
Introduce one strong, decorative element into a simple scheme. A splash of bold colour, added through mosaics or sculptures, will give your garden personality.

Dine and cook alfresco
Create a formal dining area for summer gatherings. Site it in a shady spot – or build a trellis above for trailing greenery – to keep guests cool. A sleek, built-in bench like this can double as storage in the winter months.

Use bold colours
One of the easiest ways to update a roof terrace is to add lots of colour. Painting furniture in bright shades and adding accessories such as cushions and lanterns will make an immediate difference.

Don’t forget lighting
Don’t be afraid of introducing sparkle – a fabulous light will give a dining or seating area a touch of glamour. Add a few decorative accessories, such as tableware in different shades, to tie the look together.

Watches by Google

Author — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:56:17 +0000

Do you ever spend your day wondering, “Gee, how could I possibly interact with more Google products today?” Neither do we. Between Chrome and Android and Gmail and Maps and Calendar and all their other useful products, it’s easy to spend more time on a daily basis with the company-turned-verb then it is without them. Just in case you didn’t have enough Googley places to find the time, you can find it on your wrist now too with these Google Watches. Available in three faces: Chrome, Android and classic Google (where’s Wave?), each watch also has an interchangeable band that’s easier than the jump from AOL when it comes to switching. You love Google. You love watches. This just seems like the natural next step.

Moroccan-style seating area
Stripes, delicate florals and large paisleys combined in a punchy palette of cerise and coral create a seating area infused with Moroccan flavour.

Arabian-style tent
For true escapism, erect a dreamy Arabian-style tent in the garden. Drape sheer muslin across 4 wooden poles and add a comfortable lounger to complete the effect.

Calming poolside seating
Simple, easily portable seating in white and rasberry pink stripes give a jaunty feel to poolside relaxation. A rattan drinks caddy is the perfect accessory for transporting glasses to and fro.

Pink garden hammock
Nothing conjures up lazy summer days quite like a hammock. Add cushions and throws for extra comfort and use a stool as a side table for drinks and snacks.

Floral marquee
Evoking memories of traditional village fetes, a marquee will add character to a garden party. Here, a plain design has been customised with panels of boldly patterned fabric.
