About a year ago, I wrote a post about the Fermob chairs in old Harvard yard. Apparently, the addition of the chairs was not lost on the students. But who knew a Flash Musical would erupt. Here it is! Want the chairs? Contact Viesso.

Designed by Luisa Bocchietto for Serralunga, Vas One is a bold, large scale element originally designed for public spaces. Vas One is nearly 4 feet high and there is actually a version, Big-Bo that stands nearly 6 feet high. The vases are made from rotationally moulded polyethylene and are strong and lightweight @ Linea Â
Light up the night with Soji Modern Solar Lanterns. Each is outfitted with a little solar battery – charges by day, casts a warm amber glow by night. Hang them in the trees or set them on tables. Soji is available in pearl, white or mineral. @ Abode NY.
Bubble, designed for Planika by Serge Atallah.  The idea was to come up with an eyecatching fire element – mission accomplished with Bubble made from a fiberglass polyester laminate with a stainless steel burner. At just over three feet in diameter, Bubble sits about 15 inches off the ground. The burner will last up to 3-1/2 hours and there are aromatherapy options available. Bright, fun and modern. @ Niche.
Delta Outdoor Shower by Inge Sempe is minimalist, pure and beautiful. This shower is simply hooked up to a garden hose – it can be set up with a thermostatic mixer if you really need hot water, but I like it at its most basic. The shower is also moveable, so if you need it poolside today and in the garden tomorrow, you’re set.
Vazo Methusela by Seattle based Rotoluxe makes a very big statement. At 44″ high and 48″ diameter, this giant lighted pot works indoors or out in public or private spaces. Rotoluxe’s mission is to bring a clean contemporary look in an environmentally friendly package – mission accomplished on both fronts. The products contain recycled post industrial consumer plastics and are, themselves, 100% recyclable. They are powered by a low wattage CFL or battery powered LED source. Available in 13 colors, although I’d have a hard time passing up natural, shown here.
Harbour Outdoor is a new modern outdoor line from a couple of Australian brothers whose father spent 30 years in the furniture business. Australian’s know first hand what the sun, sea air and water can do to surfaces – Harbour’s products are made from some pretty tough materials including teak, polyethylene, compact laminate, rattan, Rehau weave, Batyline Mesh with a special expertise in stainless steel, mild steel and aluminum. The designs are straight forward modern contemporary. We particularly love the Breeze collection with its teak detailing.
