Danish design

I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for clever and fun design.
Like this pot shaped like a muffin liner.
Imagine creating cup cakes with flowers...


I'm in love with the look of these pots illuminating the side of the pool.
I don't have a pool, or these pots, but I'm fantasizing about swimming in this pool at night.

This one cracks me up.

Perhaps they're not meant to go on the top of your car,
but they sure look portable.
Made from 100% recycled material.

All these clever products were found at the Danish design shop Designdelicatessen.

  1. What cute ideas. I just love the pic of the little car with the garden on the roof!

  2. Great design, a lot of fun! I love those pots too! And, as you, I don't have a pool. But, I think they will look great anywhere at night. I like your previous posts too.
    Thank you for your comment on my thorns post. Yes, all roses have prickles!

  3. Hej tjejen!

    Lysande krukor är en riktigt smart idé.... Året om.... Skulle gärna ha några stycken lite här och där....

    Hihi.... den där bilden med bilen är för skojig.... eller väldigt skojig.. :-) Ganska kreativa människor som kommit på att göra portabla planteringsenheter..... Man skulle kanske behöva en lite släpvagn för att kunna ta med sig den största bara... Tänker mig att det är något man tar med sig till landet.... och då har man antagligen redan fullt i bagaget.... :-)

    Tack för namnet på kokboken.....

    Tror jag är lite 'skadad' gällande mina ögon på arrangemang.... Kommer nog av mitt förra yrkesliv..... :-) Brukar ju sällan ysta några åsikter på bloggen.... men ibland så... :-)

    Idag börjar ungarna skolan igen..... något de inte sett fram emot direkt... Men ganska skönt att komma tillbaka till normala rutiner igen ändå...

    Ha en fin vecka Annelie.... vi hörs och syns!
    Kram Charlotte

  5. Hej Annelie,

    Danskarna är duktiga på design. Min favorit blir såklart muffinsformen - förvånad? ;) De belysta krukorna ger behagligt mjukt ljus, lagom mysfaktor i trädgården. Drömma och fantisera måste man ju få göra, annars vore det bra tråkigt ;)

    Ha en bra dag,
    Sanna

  6. (Sorry about the long comment - I couldn't find your email address. Delete at will!)
    Hi from a fellow gardenblogger (at GardenRant and elsewhere). I’m writing on behalf of Mahoney’s Gardens to introduce our new communications to you other bloggers in the region. We have a blog! And it’s part of our brand-new website, too. Also, Facebook and Twitter! So I’ll take it one thing at a time.
    Our goal with the new website and blog is to both entertain and educate our readers, and promote the fabulous community of gardening and greening that’s going on all around us (especially in Eastern Mass.). On the blog we’ll run stories about:
    • What to do in the garden NOW. Like this article about overseeing lawns: http://www.mahoneysgarden.com/blog/almost-time-overseed-or-patch-your-lawn And this one about why Mike Mahoney loves one particular grass seed so much: http://www.mahoneysgarden.com/blog/why-we-carry-jonathan-green-grass-seed
    • Tips and staff favorites from our in-house experts, plus “Meet the Staff” profiles of the Mahoney’s team
    • Great gardening and greening programs and events in the region
    • Favorite public gardens to visit (like Tower Hill)
    • Reviews of gardening books, magazines, websites, podcasts, TV shows and even movies
    • New research findings that’ll help readers
    • The latest ideas for gardening sustainably
    Here’s what you won’t find on our blog: Advertising copy. Hard sell.
    Meet our Blogging Team
    • Susan Harris - that’s me - as editor and national blogger. I co-founded the popular national team blog GardenRant and work as a gardening coach. I post twice a week.
    • Our local blogger Layanee DeMerchant posts at least weekly. She’s well known to New England gardeners as one of the Garden Guys on Boston radio.
    • Our team of Mahoney’s in-house contributors includes Mike Mahoney and Sara diPalermo (so far), and coming soon – our head grower and our garden supplies expert.
    • Monthly, we’ll feature Special Guest Bloggers - well known, respected writers and other authorities in gardening, horticulture, or design, most of them New England-based. Coming up soon? Karen Davis Cutler on Narcissi; Colleen Plimpton on her book Mentors in the Garden of Life (with book giveaway!); Jennifer Benner on plants for fall interest and giveaway of her book; Dominique Browning (recently the editor-in-chief of House and Garden Mag) on putting the garden to bed; Carol Stocker of the Globe on creating a tropical conservatory; and Tovah Martin on begonias (they’re HOT!, she tells us.)
    How can we help? Tell us what topics you’d like us to cover. Are there any links you’d like to see added to our “blogroll” in the right sidebar? Any other New England gardening experts you’d like to hear from, and about what? Do you have a guest-post up your sleeve yourself? Tell us your idea!
    How to follow us: To follow JUST the blog, you can subscribe by email or by RSS. (But you’re a blogger; you already know that.) And please, please leave comments with the URL to your blog so our readers can follow you, and conversations will get started. (Yep, you already we’d love comments – what blogger doesn’t?)
    And DO join our Facebook page or Twitter, whichever you prefer. On both you’ll find links to new articles on our blog, new resources on the website, notice of new specials, and announcements of events of interest to our customers - at Mahoney’s and around the region.
    That’s all for now. Hope to see you soon online! Susan

  7. Hej där!
    Javisst är det skönt med lite kreativt tänkande i trädgården. Man kan behöva ffå lite nya idéer i den gröna vardagen:-)

    Ha det gott! Hillevi

  8. Muffinkrukan är jättefin och lamporna har hög vill-ha-faktor. Kan däremot inte se mig på motorvägen med plantpåsarna på taket. Smart idé annars.
    Ha en bra vecka!

  9. The Muffin liner is wonderful! I guess it's a Lavander Cake inside. Yummy, yummy.

    Sanna- Håller med dig, Danskarna är duktiga.
    Hillevi- Jo, nog kan det behövas ideer ibland.

    Peter- Ät inte upp blommorna bara. :)
