Artifical Grass (aka Astro Turf) Goes Designer
When I first saw Sod Otto awhile back, my first question was “…can you use it outside?”. I think Leslie Shapiro of 407 Furniture thought I was a little crazy – because I, like many others, have real grass outside, why would I need to import artificial sod? Maybe the real impetus behind Sod Otto was to bring the outdoors in, but I sort of like it the other way around as well, bring the virtual outdoors out. Well I am happy to report that Leslie did design both an indoor and outdoor version of Sod Otto. More and more I see artificial turf being installed in my neighborhood. I keep thinking about an outdoor space that sculpts seating and table surfaces into the landscape and then covers the whole thing with a really soft, tactile turf – how cool would that be?
