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.
Chaque année, la renaissance du printemps apporte un renouveau dans notre enthousiasme pour passer du temps au jardin. Nous aimons le sentiment d’anticipation que procure la culture d’herbes fraîches pour cuisiner ou la fraîcheur parfumée d’un jardin fleuri.
Bien sûr, jardiner est un travail, et le travail nécessite des outils. Comme nous l'écrivons souvent Conception que nous aimons, 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 Un design que nous aimons.

L'eau est essentielle pour votre jardin, et un arrosoir élégant constitue un accessoire élégant pour votre jardin. La célèbre maison de design danoise 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.

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.
Designer 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.

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 Alvar 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.
