The Growing Chair is a clear plastic frame in which you grow trees to form a seat shape. After it grows you can remove the frame and plant the tree in your garden, or keep the frame and use it like a real chair.

I would love to have a couple of this tree chairs and a tree table to eat my breakfast in the garden surrounded by nature.

Sit on a stool and under your butt put your books…Hmmmz. This is the idea behind the ‘multifunctional stool’ designed by Can Onart, Elissa Myres & Bethany Casperite. The deep U-s shapes hold big books comfortably! It was made by bending and molding the 8 layers of industrial gray felt ,stuck with epoxy resin, and 2 layers of veneer.

Even more, you can use it as a table!

Peter Cook and Becky Northey began shaping plum tree since 1995 when they met, into living art they call Pooktre. During their first year they started shaping the young trees into a coffee table and a mirror frame. Over the years the trees were shaped and formed into tables, hat and coat racks, chairs, beds, mirror frames and anything else Peter and Becky decide.

The shaping process takes years. New trees are planted in the Spring and Peter and Becky harvest completed pieces in the Fall.

The idea is interesting, but I wouldn’t like such a weird piece of furniture in home.

If someone tells you about a bench or bed made from nails you of course think about torture…but the designer of the bench we are presenting now inverts that association with a smooth, curved and rippled surface for comfortable seating.

It was intended as works of art but it can be used as functional furniture too. If the nails are spaced closely enough and sufficiently smoothed there we could think of everyday furniture made like this. It will look kind of cool.

The deadly closet is not from a killer’s home, it is inspired from the classic magic trick of sticking knives in a box where is a woman. The closet features wooden “swords” that can be slide in the unit as supports or racks for clothes.

Too bad that it is not very good looking to put in a modern home. Anyway it is only a concept for now but for sure if it will go to sale, kids will love it for their bedroom.
