Crafted by renowned Chicago based designer Scott Collins, this comfortable chair is part of the new Urban Lounge collection which focuses on outdoor modern furniture with simple and minimal curves. Made up of a single piece of bent plywood, the super relaxing lounge chair goes with your natural surroundings and fits nicely with any modern environment. We can only imagine plopping a cushion on it and spend some quality time relaxing or sun bathing close to the swimming pool or into the garden.

Presented at Milan Furniture Fair 2009, Green Pockets is an innovative idea designed by Maruja Fuentes a designer from Puerto Rico. Green pockets are ceramic tiles which fuse nature with the interior space, improving both air quality and health. They attach to the wall to create the illusion as if they were actually growing from them. The tiles, made from recycled materials, serve as planters and their unique shape allows them to interlock, thereby creating different patterns depending on the vegetation planted. The pockets bring a soul-soothing dose of greenery and nature to an interior space, improving a room’s aesthetic and air quality.

Maybe not suited for your modern interior, Emu’s Ivy Collection seems perfect for any outdoor spaces you have. Put them between trees, on your back yard turf or anywhere to create an amazing contrast and somehow “show off”. Created by designer Paola Navone and inspired by the art of topiary, it will not only make for a comfortable seating experience surrounded by nature, but also for a true figurative art for your garden. And the most important fact is that the metal outdoor furniture will functions as ambient lighting once the lights go off. Quite amazing, no?
