bringing functional art outdoors: cumulus studios
I can’t remember where I saw it, but I ran into the top photo recently when browsing around the interwebs. I never saved the link, but scribbled down the name of the company, or so I thought. All I wrote down was “cumulus”. A lengthy google-quest ensued, and I found my proverbial holy grail: Cumulus Studios. Cumulus, founded in 2008 by landscape designer Nathalie Karg, is dedicated to producing limited runs of weather-safe, functional outdoor pieces by emerging contemporary artists. Benches, tables, umbrellas, and sculptures are just some of the fabulous items featured — priced, according to the company’s website, “to accommodate all budgets and tastes”. Keep an eye out for even more unique designs coming soon, like outdoor textiles and swimming pool tiles. Or, if you’ve got the budget, why not commission a custom piece? — Megan B.
That dead animal swing is a little bit cool and a little bit creepy….
A ‘little’ bit creepy? Yikes, I’d have serious doubts about anyone who would hang such a thing in their yard!
I think I’d have to avoid that yard!
i’m usually the traditionalist, but i LOVE the trussed up bunny swing.
Looking at the rabbit swing made me sad, but my cat would probably love it.
It looks to me as if you sunbathed under that parasol you’d get writing tan-lines…
