Why we love it: We spied these planters suspended from the roof of Bill’s Darlinghurst outpost (by the creative team at Pepo). Utilising the dead air space above our heads, the Sky Planter makes for a bold visual and a practical kitchen garden. The ‘Slo-Flo’ water irrigation system allows roots to be fed directly and avoids any spillages.

Why we love it: Slowly replacing the feature wall, green walls are encouragingly becoming more popular. The best part is how simple it is for you to get your own green wall to look good. Try growing a vine over a cyclone fence, whilst filling up the gaps with ‘air plants’, which will gradually merge together for a cohesive look.

Why we love it: The resourceful idea of appropriating IKEA furniture for a higher purpose got us thinking. Architect and designer Antonio Scarponi’s book, Eliooo, illustrates how to upgrade a range of IKEA furniture into vessels for growing hydroponic plants; bringing an unseen dimension to otherwise cookie cutter furnishings.

Why we love it: It’s one thing to create a design to bring the outdoors into your home, it’s another thing to be able to integrate it seamlessly into everyday life. The Gardenwall stays within the characteristic of Tait’s collection, whilst dancing the line between a bold statement, and simple practicality.
