Designed in Holland
The pots that caught my attention are produced by Dutch pottery firm Elho (sorry, no link because the site plays music unwanted, and uses frames plus Flash, so I can't even link to the English version), and are called "Brussels Herbs plant pots". They are designed by Bas van der Veer and allow you to grow herbs right inside the kitchen or any other room where there is enough light for things to grow. I love it when design brings nature closer to our everyday lives.
Playful design
The design is playful and fits greatly in small-spaced kitchens. The Brussels Herbs pot comes with itty-bitty multiblade scissors, enabling you to snip herbs like chives and basil right over a plate. The scissors are held within a special handle next to the pot so you don't need to go pick them out of a drawer. I also like that there is a double version of the Brussels Herbs that was specifically designed to provide room for two different kitchen herbs in one pot. They come in different colors too.
I'm definitely buying a double one (or two) but I'll have to wait a little longer as The Brussels Herbs series will be available from the end of 2011 in garden centres, DIY stores and webshops across Europe.
