Centred around a chilled out theme, The Chilstone Garden is designed with the busy urbanite in mind, a space to unwind after a hectic day. Chilstone's Garden House takes centre stage inside which is a floating 1968-designed crystal-clear hanging chair, a wonderful place to relax and unwind in a personal bubble, watching the everlasting ice sculpture gently melt into a grown-up paddling pool.

    The Pool ensures our busy urbanite and friends do not take themseleves too seriously. Who could resist sitting on the Garden House floor on a swealtering day, with feet dangling in cool refreshing water sipping something chilled? Wet feet are not a problem in The Chilstone Garden. Conventional paving is replaced with a stunning non-slip, shag-pile, outdoor carpet, yes an outdoor carpet, used for the first time in a Chelsea Show Garden. The carpet is designed for British weather, with the added bonus of being luxuriously soft to walk on in bare feet.

    Cool-coloured planting accentuates the chilled-out atmosphere of the garden. Snowballs of alliums, cow parsley and baltic parsley give the impression of a dusting of snow, floating above a restful bed of decorative grasses that ripple in the slightest breeze. The trees have then been carefully placed to frame the views.

    The airy planting, light transparency of the bubble chair, aqua-coloured carpet and pale stone walls make for an eye-catching combination, designed to draw media attention and engage conversation with Chelsea's 157,000 visitors.

    Chilstone, are an established company, renowned for their classical portfolio. So perhaps a traditional statue cast in shimmering clear resin to mimic melting icce might be considered a little radical, but with a bowl full of ice cubes Chilstone are celebrating a very modern Chelsea garden in a contemporary style, some might describe as, "traditional with a twist".
