Modular Small-Space Balcony by Christian Lessing

We really wish this was available here in the US. Created by German designer Christian Lessing, the "balcony" series is a modular system that hooks onto a ledge and allows you to mix-and-match planters, tabletops, and stools on a slatted wall...

 
 

If you've got a tiny balcony, you can fold down the table and stools when they're not in use and flip them up when you need a space to sit. It could also work in a tiny kitchen, hooked over a window ledge. From 2007 to 2009, Lessing designed 3 different prototypes based on the same concept. Two are made from steel and wood, and one from laminated compact board.

I would like that even for my garden with lots of space! It's so elegant and functional.

Heck, I'd use it indoors, too.

reminds me of the seating at a lunch spot in Japan and at the bus spot in Mexico, DF.

A sophisticated take on the pegboard balcony divider. Nice
