What you are going to see in the next post is a piece of furniture that looks like it just arised from a fairy tale, but is in fact the product of an ingenious method of tree shaping developed by a couple of artists at Pooktre ! The notion first came about by 20 years ago when Peter “Pook” Cook, a free-spirited entrepreneur living in the mountains of Australia, wondered whether it would be possible to grow his own chairs. Unaware of anyone else practicing tree shaping in the world, Pook toyed with that view for years, conducting many experiments with various gardening methods and tree types while recording his observations. Eventually, in 1996 his experiments and collaboration with his partner Becky Northey led to the

development of a system of tree shaping he dubbed “Pooktre.” To find more about that visit Pooktre website . – Via – Inhabitat that is a post from the Freshome Magazine , who bring you the latest news in Interior Design, Decorating, Furniture and Architecture.
