Design We Like is a blog series highlighting everyday items that complement the aesthetic sensibility of Turkel Design. By sharing these selections from our team, we hope to reveal more about the thinking behind our own modern prefab homes: understated beauty, clean lines, high-quality materials, and work that is built to last. Durable rather than delicate, timeless rather than trendy, these are the essentials that are too well-designed to keep hidden in a drawer. There’s no sponsored content here—it’s a place for us to celebrate the things that we believe would fit in a Turkel Design home.
Cada año, el renacimiento de la primavera trae consigo una renovación de nuestro entusiasmo por pasar tiempo en el jardín. Nos encanta la sensación de anticipación que surge al cultivar hierbas frescas para cocinar o la fragante frescura de un jardín de flores en flor.
Por supuesto, la jardinería es trabajo y el trabajo requiere herramientas. Como escribimos a menudo en Diseño que nos gusta, tools should feel good to use and look beautiful while you’re using them. Even if your home lacks the space for an outdoor garden, these recommendations are particularly well suited for bringing the garden indoors.
Here are some recommendations for garden tools whose stylish form equals their frictionless function—thereby making them Diseño que nos gusta.
Diseño para crecer
El agua es esencial para su jardín y una regadera elegante es un accesorio elegante para su jardín. La famosa casa de diseño danesa Stelton makes one of our favorite examples. Relaunched for Stelton’s sixtieth anniversary in 2020, this steel watering can recalls designer Peter Holmblad’s 1978 original. At 13” x 9.65” x 5.12”, the can is relatively modest in size, which makes it ideal for bringing a sense of the outdoors to your indoor garden. It’s also attractive enough to double as a sculpture when you’re not using it to hydrate your plants.
Diseño para mantener
Gardens are sanctuaries, gateways to peaceful escape and quiet reflection. Every gardener is well aware of the constant need for pruning, cutting, and clipping required to create this sense of calm—hence the need for a sturdy yet sleek pair of gardening shears.
Diseñador Satoshi Watase created an unusually graceful example with these steel shears from Kobayashi Seikyo Co., Ltd. The scissors are available in two sizes—the 5.51” × 2.76” × 0.39” Harvester and the 6.3” × 3.15” × 0.39” Florist — ideal for both snipping herbs and pruning flowers. The generous loop of each handle makes them a fine fit for your fingers.
Diseño para exhibir
Finally, you’ll need a beautiful vessel in which to display the results of your green thumb. To showcase flowers grown in the garden of a modern home, why not pay homage to one of the icons of modernism? Finnish legend Álvar Aalto (1898-1976) applied his prodigious talent to a wide range of projects, from large public buildings to housewares. This vase set from Iittala—made from mouth-blown, then hand-cut glass—bears his trademark wave design. With two sizes, one for larger arrangements and the other for petite bouquets, it’s a striking display for your floral bounty.
Ya sea que anhele que un jardín sea su santuario personal de primavera o esté buscando una manera de traer el aire libre al interior, en Turkel Design creemos que conectarse con el aire libre es crucial para nuestro bienestar. Nuestras casas prefabricadas modernas priorizan esta conexión para crear espacios que mejoren tu vida.
Let’s have a conversation about how you want to live.
