內容簡介: |
The way we view our outside space, whether roof terrace,
balcony or garden, has changed dramatically in the last 20 years.
Today we realise the potential of exterior domestic spaces as
outdoor rooms, a fact that has led to an unprecedented growth in
design products for outdoor settings. Leading designers like Marcel
Wanders, Philippe Starck and Ross Lovegrove have created furniture
and lighting ranges specifically for the outside. Their work
successfully challenges traditional garden design, developing the
use of new materials and the idea of the garden as a site for
installation. With more than 1,000 full-colour images, "1000
Designs for the Garden" is a lavishly illustrated sourcebook
focusing on the best in contemporary garden design. Each of its ten
chapters is headed up by an interview with a leading expert in
garden design, architecture, product design or fine art. Packed
with the very latest in outdoor furniture, garden art and both
practical and luxury garden items, the book features web addresses
and full specifications for every product and will appeal to both
gardeners and lovers of contemporary design alike.
