Living Furniture
In 1986 Peter had the idea of growing a chair. Nine years later Peter and Becky became partners. Pooktre was born. Together they have mastered the art they call Pooktre, which is the shaping of trees as they grow in predetermined designs. Some are intended for harvest to be high quality indoor furniture and others will remain living art.

Local hippies made good. That chair is amazing, and only took ten years to grow. Damn my 15 minute attention span.
Seen quite a bit of this over the years - always beautiful stuff. Take a look at http://www.arborsmith.com for some interesting pieces - especially the boat frame!

Very cool indeed.
That is way cool for sure. Talk about eco-friendly. That is tops!
