1000 Designs for the Garden and Where to Find Them Summary

1000 Designs for the Garden and Where to Find Them by Ian Rudge

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.
