The outdoor area of Dwell on Design was probably my favorite feature. If I recall correctly, the "outdoor" portion of the show was designed by Form LA Landscaping and it looked fantastic. Besides the modern shed that I talked about yesterday, here are some more highlights of the show that I absolutely loved.
Clockwise from top, the greenform planters are great. I'm thrilled that modern, architectural planters are so much easier to source now. This arrow planter made from lightweight recyclable fiber cement is perfect for indoors or out.
The second image showing the "pebbles" is another fave. What incredible sculptural pieces to add to your lawn or patio! A fusion of sculpture and furniture, they are made of wood, resin, fabric, and cast stone AND they're available from EIS studio in Venice right on Abbot Kinney.
Then there was the much talked about air plant "chandelier". It was truly beautiful and must have taken so much time and patience to thread each little sweet. It was incredible!
Now we come to the garden wall bar. It's a vertical garden system by Fytowall made of modular panels that can be used both indoor and outdoor. I love that you can create your own vertical herb garden on any surface. I could envision one in my future back yard with a secret door hidden within the wall.

I want one. That's all I can say about the adorable but Modern Sheds seen at Dwell on Design L.A. These prefab customizable sheds are perfect for a multitude of spaces.
Here is the one I saw at Dwell on Design that I fell in love with - Model 5:
You can pick your level: 1, 2, or 3 and the most fun is picking your materials. You can have 3-form walls, maple walls, cedar ceilings, cork floors, various paint colors, windows and doors. They come in all sorts of sizes too. I could live in one full time I think. Their philosophy at modern shed is about "living smaller and within our means - utilizing space to the best of our ability is a start in the right direction towards eliminating the clutter of the day".
And for those of us who cant't give up our larger homes, modern sheds are great for:
I would totally use a modern shed for a latte hut! And it would be great to use for my designer studio. One day. *sigh*.

I had a fabulous time at Dwell on Design in L.A. this weekend and am so anxious to share some cool finds with you throughout the week. First up is lovely Wallter. You may remember Wallter from the infamous 3D wall stickers and wall decor that we all came to love. And now (thankfully) they have grown to include stylish planters. Yay! Available in wall mounted (my favorite), hanging, or on a post, these powder coated aluminum planters are now added to my wishlist and will be part of my summer projects this year.
Here are some of my pics from their exhibit at the show...

What do you think? Can you see them in your backyard and on your patio?
