Water features have got to be the top must-have features in gardens. One of the best designers who creates wonderful water sculptures is William Pye (UK). He takes his inspiration from nature and the way he manipulates water is truly outstanding such as his vortex fountains. Although he makes smaller versions, the largest one has got to be his masterpiece. The fountain is called Charybdis and is located in Seaham Hall in Sunderland, UK.
Why he named it such will be familiar to those who know their Greek mythology. Charybdis was once a sea nymph who made the God Zeus mad enough to change her into a monstrous whirlpool which swallowed up whole ships. Pye’s vortex fountain has all the mesmerizing beauty of the original siren it was named after. The fountain has steps around it which serves as viewing platforms so people can gaze at the vortex from above. A transparent acrylic cylinder is where water rushes through under high pressure and forms a sustained air core in the middle. The filtration system has to be very good to keep the vortex fountain in tip-top shape. – Via

Grow bag is a pillow shaped pot for plants made of PVC foam, that is designed by Martino D’Esposito. I can say that Martino was quite creative when he created the “Grow Bag”, because is a really unusual idea for a plant pot, and a pillow would be the last thing I’d imagine choosing as a pot design. The sleepy pot has dimensions of 35 ×35 cm, is manufactured by Ligne Roset and is marketed exclusively for hydroculture-friendly plants.. Grow bag is available in white/orange or gray/gray and the formed plastic Drink Tray in red, black or white. Finally this innovative idea for a plant pot would look great if you like to keep plants inside the house.

A few months ago I’ve posted about the Plants Furniture by Mindscape a great idea that combines interesting plant shapes with a place to sit and contemplate the garden. Today I’ve found something even cooler than that design. This Grass Ottoman looks like it was something right from nature, but in fact is constructed of a fade resistant plastic set on a lightweight form that is solid yet light weight. It can be used in the garden or the living room, but a piece of furniture like this indoors looks better than outside, especially in the winter when you don’t see to much green outside. The Grass Ottoman was originally designed for a contemporary pool setting in Menlo Park California by principal designer Nancy Favier. – Via – Gh-Design

A few months ago we presented an interesting piece of Garden Furniture, and today here is another interesting bench named the Hanna Bench. These benches are manufactured from recycled/reclaimed boat wood; though this gives them a unique appearance, no two will be exactly the same even if they are of the same style. The silkscreened grass image on the backrest of the bench is a large scale, cropped graphic that gives the old boards a fresh look. The price for a bench like this is $900 each. – Via – ApartmentTherapy
