Oversized Outdoor Hammock - Beanock, a hammock and beanbag combo


Meet the beanock, an oversized hammock. Some of us were used to beanbags being just your average cushion to use as a seat. It's not the case anymore. This contemporary design makes the beanbag take the form of a hammock. No worries, it is large enough to fit one or two persons and a couple of fluffy pillows alongside. It only depends on the size you choose to have it in. Extreme comfort and ease of use make it the perfect accessory to keep indoor or outdoor lounging at the highest level possible. It will conveniently modify itself by following the shape of your body. Also, this beanock is designed to be suspended from all four edges using high quality metal rings. So the oversized hammock, le beanock, provides maximum safety when swinging in it as long as your heart desires.

Modern Planter Delta from Lechuza


Plant-holders can be just as unique as the flowers they hold and should complement the settings they are placed in – The Lechuza-Delta planter is sophisticated contemporary, perfect for a chic and modern surrounding. This planter is a piece of decor on its own, and if left empty would still demand attention. The round cubical body engulfs plants like Snake Plants, Bamboo shoots or decorative twigs, and creates a column in a space. There is a liner inside the planter base, which allows the contents of the planter to be transferred with ease and little mess, if any at all. The sturdy lining is strong enough to hold the planter contents on its own, keeping the plants safe and wont’ fall over if placed down. Anything that can be used for more than one purpose is ideal, multi-purpose is what people are looking for. Planters, pots, vases and storage containers are now being created as functional and fashionable pieces. Next time you look at a planter or vase, think outside the [storage] box to see if you can use it for more than one purpose.
