From City to Country At The Drop of a Shade

Talk about modern country. Sasha Bunbury (above), owner of farm21, a new design studio, creates products for people who live in the city but dream of the country. These include translucent silk and cotton window screens like the one behind her (they start at $300), with a picture of a barley field just before harvest in County Wicklow, Ireland. Farm21 also makes Plexiglas cube end tables filled with straw, hops or lavender; lamp bases filled with wheat or moss; and benches, made from fallen trees, engraved with Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash song lyrics.

For those with country homes, she will print pictures of the surrounding landscape on blinds for a city apartment.
