Boulders Planter

 

Designed by: Jinggoy Buensuceso for HIVE

Why we love it: The Boulders Collection offers a juxtaposition of contemporary forms and antique detailing. The polygonal shape is a simple conveyance of modern sculptures while the natural oxidation of metal provides the rustic feel. All planters are offered in neutral rusty shade while the internal bowls come in white, black and blue..

Urban Composter

 

Designed by: Urban Composter

Why we love it: Designed with the aim of facilitating composting in smaller dwellings and eliminating the unsightly or odorous elements of the practice. Incorporating the use of a compost accelerator spray allows compost to be converted to fertilizer in a matter of days, while the colorful lids add a welcome pop of brightness to the bin.

Kneelo

  

Designed by: Kneelo

Why we love it: Painful knees ruin gardening. Luckily the good people at Kneelo saw an opportunity where others only felt stiff and sore. Generously sized, with contoured edges, Kneelo allows you to work in cushioned comfort for prolonged periods of time. Featuring a deep layer of shock absorbing EVA foam and a luxurious cushioning layer of memory foam, Kneelo is encased in waterproof, durable neoprene with a quick dry, wipe clean, nylon coating.

Designed by: Louis McCoy

Why we love it: Created from 90% recycled materials such as old pallets and left over poly tubing, these planters feature a specially designed geo fabric (permeable mesh) that allows plants to absorb water as they need it, so they only need occasional watering and can be deployed indoors with minimal mess.
