Add Some Desert Flair to Your Garden with Spacio Terreno’s Brooklyn-Made Faceted Concrete Planters

July 3, 2014

The sandy deserts of the southwest are a long way from New York, but that doesn’t mean we can’t add a little of that earthy style to our lives. And the Faceted Concrete Planters by Spacio Terreno are the perfect way to start — their distressed concrete bodies and dusty colors remind us of sandy deserts, while the geometric design maintains an urban aesthetic. Plus, they’re made in Brooklyn.

The design workshop Spacio Terreno was founded in 2010 by husband and wife team Isabel Becerra and Patricio Andrade. Their mix of jewelry and housewares is produced in their Sunset Park, Brooklyn studio. Inspired by similarities found among different cultures, the couple strives to create products that celebrate these parallels.

They describe this lovely garden addition as “a concrete planter whose form and permanence compliments the beauty and transience of a plant.” We couldn’t agree more. And now we have an excuse to decorate our apartments with adorable cacti.

$50M penthouse is the last residence available at the Upper East Side’s famed Surrey Hotel

By Aaron Ginsburg

Manhattan's famed Surrey Hotel is making a comeback. Following bankruptcy proceedings, new owners, and a renovation, the 100-year-old Art Deco landmark at 20 East 76th Street on the Upper East Side reopened last month as a condo hotel, with 100 hotel rooms and 14 condos, part of the Surrey Residences. Now, after a whisper sales campaign, just one remaining apartment is about to hit the market: a three-bedroom duplex penthouse asking $50,000,000. The sprawling residence, the building's most expensive, offers 5,195 square feet plus 2,346 square feet across three terraces and a private rooftop.
