Marcel Wanders, born in the Netherlands, has become famous for his fabulous creations in design. One of my favourite pieces is the Skygarden Suspension Lamp.  It looks like a boring, plain, semi-spherical lamp from a distance, but if you have a chance – look up inside!

Inspired by an antique plaster ceiling in a former home, Wanders captured the essence of classical plaster design inside a modern, sleek exterior.

The Skygarden comes in two sizes; the S1 (w60cm x h30cm), or the S2 (w90cm x h45cm). It is also available in 4 colours: Rust, Gold, White and Black.

Marcel designed the lamp for Flos, who still carries the lamp today.

Wow, now this is a hammock. I drive by my neighbours hammock everyday, and it’s one strung between two trees.
Don’t have 2 trees in your yard? Well here is one that does not need trees.

After a seemingly endless search for modern outdoor furniture, I finally found Royal Botania!!! Not only does it look absolutely amazing, it is incredibly comfortable. I don’t know if you have ever lounged by a pool for half a day, but I have and let me tell you it is not a terribly comfortable experience for your ass unless you have a great lounge chair.  To be totally blunt, I never even think about my ass when I am lounging on my NINIX lounger! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, they tell you it is ergonomic or whatever that really means, but the proof for me has been a totally fidgetless afternoon by the pool.  The Batyline or mesh loungers don’t even need cushions to make them anymore comfortable. Besides, those cushions get wet and disgusting quickly and who needs that! With the mesh loungers, just hose them down and wipe them off and they are good to go. I have had the loungers for 3 years now and can’t imagine relaxing in anything else. Give your ass a break and try The Royal Botania NINIX lounger – you too can have a fidgetless day by the pool!
