Landscaping the surroundings of a modernist-style home requires adherence to several rules. In modern garden design, there are several basic principles, including simple compositional lines, contrasts, and geometric forms. Long, smooth surfaces are also a distinguishing feature. Lamell, a new addition to the Polbruk lineup, features a perfect rectangular shape and dimensions of 60 by 40 cm. The large format of the slabs makes them exceptionally easy to install, whether in larger or smaller layouts. Due to their thickness—4.5 cm—they are designed for patios and pedestrian walkways, which is why they work so well in a home garden. Their simple yet elegant appearance creates a natural extension of the living room. Lamell stands out not only for its simple and symmetrical shape. The slabs are available in two textures—smooth and washed (slightly rough). The former comes in eight color variants—in both cool and warm tones. The latter, meanwhile, is available in dark gray ritmo (graphite-light gray) and light gray bianka. A touch of eccentricity is added to this ascetic slab—in shape, color, and form—by its melange character, which somewhat resembles slightly distressed denim. The subdued colors help you find inner peace, making every moment spent in the garden truly priceless.
These advantages of Lamella make them a perfect fit for modern designs that value minimalism and symmetry. Thanks to their color, the slabs will also create an ideal contrast with greenery. You’ll achieve the desired effect by pairing a paving made of Lamell slabs with evergreen plants such as boxwoods, mahogany, or arborvitae. In addition to these, it’s worth planting ornamental grasses in a modern garden, as well as trees such as the palm maple, magnolia, or white dogwood. Other green plants can also provide a fantastic contrast to the walkway surface. Recently, plants that grow in forests and meadows—such as mulleins, yarrow, and wild carrots—have been gaining popularity. On a patio Lamell, it will look great alongside trendy technorattan patio furniture and decorative elements made of steel or glass. Proper lighting and accessories—such as LED planters—will add a special touch to arrangements created in this way.
In addition to modern styles, Lamell also works well as a surface in Scandinavian-inspired designs. Minimalism and clean lines are valued here as well. While Northern Europeans typically opt for wood and stone, concrete slabs that resemble stone are a viable, far more durable, and equally aesthetic alternative. If you decide to design your garden in the Scandinavian style, keep in mind that the plants should be a bit more… free-flowing, less orderly, and in harmony with the landscape. Conifers—such as pines, firs, spruces, and larches—are always welcome, and we can complement them with heather, ornamental grasses, and fruit trees. Apple, pear, plum, and quince trees are all suitable options.
Polbruk Lamell It’s the perfect material for building terraces, paths, and plazas, and it fits perfectly into many garden designs. It’s worth taking advantage of its austere and symmetrical form to create your dream garden.
