From Design Museum La Triennale di Milano
A design covers another design. This possibility and idea are quite potential in all kinds of fields. What is the meaning of designing bonsai plats which are already done with a "design?" For example, "this bonsai is designed by a famous Japanese guy" but, thatarchitecture is designed by piano design SMEG." The hint is that bonsai as a product and even as a design should be treated as a special thing.
| Smeg and architectural studio PIANO DESIGN, have created a new way of caring for houseplants: the Home Garden. Clean, essential lines combine with elegant materials like toughened glass and steel to give full visibility of the potted plants kept inside. Designed as a furnishing accessory and "activity center", the Home Garden is both useful and beautiful. |
When we put our heads together to think of an exciting new addition to Smeg's household range, a domestic greenhouse was the natural choice. As a home for plants, a greenhouse immediately ties in with the rest of Smeg's products for the home. The link is further reflected by the Home Garden's design in the shape of a house with roof and two side entrances. We have thought of the Home Garden as a living painting, an intelligent furnishing with which to decorate the house. The Home Garden provides shelter for plants, allowing them to thrive in homes that do not have an outside space. It is a home within a home where the plants are the protagonists. The discreet stainless steel frame with clear glass panels allow unimpeded views of the greenery inside, at all times and from all angles. The technology used ensures healthy plant growth while the design enhances their beauty nature and encourages our fascination with nature. From the start, the Home Garden was conceived as a simple, easy-to-use object for those who wish to be able to look after their " garden under glass" every day of the year. Plants and flowers give boundless pleasurebut in return demand lots of love, care and attention. In bringing together both these aspects-relaxing pleasure and tender care- the Home Garden adds more than a touch of interest and enjoyment to life.
