Earthy Delights

The garden is a natural source of springtime inspiration. This year designers as diverse as Dutch group Droog and the Danish Design Centre have taken greenery to a new level of sophistication, from a laser-cut umbrella resembling a tree canopy to a glazed vase shaped like large blades of grass. For those who like to bring the outdoors inside, there is a Smith & Hawken moss-covered bunny, and organic herbs that can be planted in the plastic-lined paper bag in which they come.
