SALADERCIZE!

 

Hoping to loose weight? Planning to diet and exercise? Why not combine the two. The Eva Solo Salad Spinner washes the salad in the kitchen in cold water and then out into the garden to whirl the spinner round your head to dry the salad and burn calories at the same time - you may also amuse the neighbours and frighten the local dogs!

Available in Steel Grey, Spring Green and Creamy Sand.

FLOWERPOT LIGHTS

 

A lot of garden lighting, especially solar lighting tends to be very functional. The Flowerpot Garden Lamp by Verner Panton is more than just stylish, its to die for! It is available in a range of colour finishes including white, matt black, orange, turquoise, and red.

'At the end of the sixties, Verner Panton created a series of lamps for his exhibition and restaurants. Each was based on simple lines. The most famous lamp turned out to be the small Flowerpot table lamp, named after the era of Flower Power.

FlowerPot Garden
The name says it all. FlowerPot is menat for garden living. Between grass, bushes and trees it will create a beautiful and warm ambience. FlowerPot Garden will illuminate your surroundings and become a poetic part of nature.

THE FUTURE OF BARBEQUES?

 

I'm not so sure about the design and styling of the BarbeSkew but the idea is great. It was featured on Dragons Den where the Dragons thought it was a good idea but didn't invest!

'The days of apprehension and black sausages are now over thanks to the launch of a new barbecue (BBQ) which cooks food to perfection. The BarbeSkew - which takes it's name from BARBEcue and SKEWer - combines the traditional BBQ with a spit roast. Instead of a BBQ grill above the flames, the BarbeSkew BBQ automatically slowly rotates the food on skewers ensuring it is cooked thoroughly but making sure it doesn't burn. Larger produce such as fish and burgers can be cooked too on the BarbeSkew BBQ by placing them in a rotating cage.'
