This amazing piece of contemporary sculpture by David Harper naturally draws the eye in. The light and reflections from the polished stainless steel create lovely effects in the garden.

I love the look of this garden pod! You can sit comfortably inside in the sun or shade and rotate it for a different view.

What's not to like about a love sofa? It's cute and cozy, and it has a multipositional canopy to shield you from the sun, wind or prying eyes.

This metal honeycomb trellis is brilliant for creating a contemporary look on a wall with climbing plants. It's modular, so you can create your own pattern.

I love the domed design of this contemporary pergola, for so often they are just square. You could grow a climbing rose, honeysuckle or clematis up the structure, or keep it bare to enjoy the wood.

Doesn't this look like a super way to get cozy in the garden? The Apple Daybed Pod comes with snugly cushions (one for the base and five scatter cushions) and is the perfect place to relax and get protection from the sun.

This unusual art installation for the garden is — would you believe it? — made from glass. The stems blend in wonderfully amongst a border of flowers and plants, and they glimmer and shine as they catch the light. It's a definite feature and talking point for a contemporary garden!

This is a nice contemporary-style garden torch. It's perfect for barbecues and quite apt for the Olympic year.

This impressive chalice-style water feature for the garden cleverly gives the impression that the bowls rotate when they're actually static.

Iron Vein is renowned for designing striking metal garden sculptures, and this steel succulent is no exception. I particularly like the fact that each leaf is a separate part, so you can design and style your agave plant in your garden as you wish.

This is a lovely contemporary coffee table for the garden. It's got a glass top, but you can fill the cavity below with pebbles, shells or glass nuggets.

I love the curved effect of this garden furniture set. When not in use, the pieces fit together into a perfect circle.

Rachel Newcombe Yes, the Torus is amazing! I also really love the Strange Fruit - especially so many pieces all grouped together - as it's a wonderfully quirky sculpture for your garden.

Rachel Newcombe @dianaguzman If you click through to David Harber's website, there are details of stockists around the world (including the UK and US). So hopefully you can find somewhere to buy it.
