Now we reached program 3 of MesterSkaberne on DR1. Theme – Garden rooms. 1st day – Build a sort of flower storage. Construction time 2 1/2 hours. Anton and I spotted the fine green recycled window and quickly agreed to build a garden frame.
A garden frame is a small greenhouse or a heat bed. Experience shows that muck develops heat when it is placed with a layer of soil on top of it. The heat can be utilized to cultivate the crop to harvest earlier than it would succeed in open air. We both have garden frames at home and have really good experience with it. This garden frame is built so that it can stand on an apartment balcony as it is tall and narrow. We thought that the idea is important to propagate. A garden frame can give so much pleasure in very little space. As you can see, it does not take many materials to build it. Minimal exertion, maximum plant joy.
Day 2. The big assignment. Build a garden furniture for two people out of a cable drum. It has been done before and it has been seen before. So, the trick was to rethink our furniture. We built a tete a tete couch. It means, directly translated from French, head to head or face to face. For example, a meeting or a confidential conversation. We wanted to play with the shape and colors. A dynamic piece of furniture playing with colors, which can only be seen from one side. Moving from left to right, you see the beautiful colors that winds around the seats. If you go from right to left, you see only the color of the wood. The seats are built out of the cable drum, so they float between wooden slats, which gives the sofa get a lightweight and playful expression. The slats are built of used wooden sticks planed to a thickness of 3 cm. The cushions on the color side are sewn from striped fabric, and on the wooden side of wood-coloured fabric. It is a bit of a piece of art to build the “floating” seats but Anton built it to perfection. The beautiful tete a tete in place in good company with a bunch of fragrant mint and red Geraniums. We are proud and happy with our fine tete a tete. Today, the beautiful couch has a special place in my patio. See you next Wednesday for program 4 of MesterSkaberne. Anton and Susanne
