The Ivy collection by Paola Navone for Emu is a line of metal outdoor furniture that is meant to be overgrown with tendrils of green. Inspired by topiary art, the concept is to be as one with nature, and the collection includes a side table that houses a solar panel. Once it is dark enough the table also functions as ambient lighting. Of course the ivy growth is not a requirement, as the pieces look equally stylish without embellishment.

I like the idea of the landscape overtaking the "architecture." Sort of like abandoned homes and hotels of former splendor.
