CONTEMPORARY SHOW GARDEN FOR LUXURY FURNITURE COMPANY
Aralia Landscape Architects have secured a ‘5 Star Award’ for their client Gaze Burvill @ the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2017 with their stunning, contemporary Trade Show Garden. It is the first time that Aralia have designed for Gaze Burvill, but the two companies have collaborated big style, and the net result is a fabulous Trade Show Garden that will give the other Show Gardens on main avenue a run for their money!
Gaze Burvill approached Aralia because of their best-in-class landscape designs, and felt that Aralia would deliver a stunning contemporary back drop for their beautifully crafted & sustainable outdoor furniture. Aralia were truly inspired by the brief, and worked hard to innovate and come up with ideas and concepts which would show the Gaze Burvill furniture in a different light. With a nod to the ancient Japanese art of Shou Sugi Ban, the technique that preserves wood by charring it with fire, Aralia plans for the trade show garden to offer a beautiful back drop of scorched oak, which allows the modern steam bent oak collections to stand out wonderfully. The trade stand has been designed to work almost if it were a Show Garden, with spatial arrangements that work on both practical and aesthetic levels.
Aralia also looked to complement and enhance Gaze Burvill ’ethos and values’ with the introduction of Oak Saplings embedded into the Oak paneling walling, and to Centre piece a carcass of furniture to demonstrate the real craftsmanship of these collector’s pieces’. The oak saplings will later be planted down at the Gaze Burvill Global Head office.

Inside detail.
Indonesian temple originally built for a wealthy family in the late 1800s or early 1900s in Central Java and later shipped and reconstructed on Vashon Island, Washington.
Masonry wall. "...the architecture of the cliff-people had here reached its culminating point... The stones are hewn and fitted together with the utmost care, the surface of the walls is perfectly smooth, and the corners are turned at perfect right angles." (Ibid., p. 66)
To see this train still driving efficiently today to me is a proof of the craftsmanship of early german engineers. It fits neatly into each other and never misses a beat.
Photo taken November 9, 2018 at De Ridder Antiques in Forney, Texas. We’ve been going to the antique sheds just east of Forney for close to 30 years. When we started visiting there were fifteen or more antique shops grouped together along U.S. 80. Over the years though, that number has dwindled to just a few. The owner of De Ridder, Willie de Ridder, opened her store 42 years ago. She was born in the Netherlands and many of the items in the shop have reflected her European heritage. We have found antique sleds, skis, chocolate moulds, etc. at De Ridders. Throughout the store, Ms. de Ridder has created wonderful individual displays of her items. She is very kind and has let my daughter and I take photos on several occasions. I noticed De Ridder was closing and asked if I could take photos one last time. I bought a couple of very nice antique tins from Holland on this trip. Photo copyright Clif Bosler, 2018.

Our final morning in the UK before heading back to Heathrow for our evening flight back to New Zealand via Dubai.
So we had a wonderful morning stolling through the beautiful Cotswold village of Bilbury.
These shopfront mosaics are increasingly rare. Some fine examples in Aberystwyth.
Handmade to last, when businesses were also expected to last. Beautiful craftsmanship.
