We use the word “elevate” a lot around here. But it does capture a sense of what great design can sometimes achieve – making everyday items feel that bit more special, making everyday tasks that bit more fun. Or meaningful. Or satisfying. Or glamorous.
It’s what Linda Brattlöf, founder of Swedish label Garden Glory, set out to do with one of the world’s most boring and unloved household items: the garden hose. The result is a collection that elevates the humble task of watering to stylish new heights. Because what’s more debonair than a richly hued hose you can whip out whenever your plants are looking a bit thirsty?
Garden Glory’s luxury hoses come in a range of colours – from poppy pastels and calming neutrals to dramatic monochromes – ready to coordinate with your individual garden vibe. And it’s very clear they’re designer accessories, rather than dingy garden tools you hide away in the shed.
Each PVC hose is 20-metres long and features a knitted reinforcement around the inner tube, making it pliable and non-kinking. Surfaces are also UV-protected to prevent bleaching from sun exposure, so they’ll stay colour-drenched for a good long time.
Hose kits start at $289 and include a matching garden hose, wall mount and nozzle. Plus, you can upgrade with metallics, spray-gun nozzles and dramatic claw- and antler-shaped hose holders.
Garden Glory also produces colourful gardening gloves, watering cans, spades, pots, cushions, doorknockers, candle holders, bird feeders and lanterns. The complete range is shoppable online, with free shipping on all Australian orders.
