It took him more than 10 years to plant the chair.

This art form

In fact,

It may cost more than people.

It takes a lifetime to finish it.

This chair is 12 years old.

It took him 10 years

Planted the stool.

Peter relaxes on his masterpiece

This tree chair must be grafted for a long time.

Bonsai and pruning

To create this imaginative art.

Many artists from all over the world

I've been practicing for this for decades.

He planted the table out of the ground

Plant a tree on the ground in spring

In the fall,

Can it produce furniture?

Gavin Munro said: yes.

Designer Gavin Munro is in the middle of England

There is a large area of farmland in Derbyshire

It's lush.

Take a long look

It's all chairs and lampshades.

I heard that this fall

He will usher in the harvest season for the first time.

There are 400 tables,

Chairs and lampshades

Waiting for him to harvest in the field.

British designer Gavin Munro, 39, said:

I think it's funny to do this.

It's like 3D printing.

It's just air, dirt and sunshine.

Except for planting the furniture directly.

He still needs polishing.

The production process is roughly like a video.

I heard that this fall

He ushered in the harvest season for the first time.

There are 400 tables, chairs and lampshades.

And every chair is booked.

The transaction price is 25000 RMB.

Gavin also revealed some of the production process:

When the young tree grows into the shape we want

We will continue to take care of it.

To make it stronger.

In winter,

We will harvest this tree.

Then let it dry naturally in cold weather.

As a creator,

The idea was Gavin in the beginning.

A little experiment in my own garden:

He remembered that there was a tree that looked like a throne in his mother's backyard.

I want to see if I can deliberately change the growth direction of trees.

So a chair was planted a year later.

In the farmland of Gavin Munro

Willow, oak, ash and fig trees are planted.

With several plastic moulds he designed

To guide

Pruning and pruning

Over time

They obediently grow into furniture.

Don't look at him as plain.

The eighteenth change of "female"

The more beautiful it gets:

Chair

Mirror

Every brilliant thinker in real has been hit by Apple.

Gavin Munro was lucky to be hit three times.

This first "apple" was a potted plant showing excess lust in his childhood.

Because it looks like a chair, it successfully stayed in Gavin's mind for 25 years.

Lampshade

A few years later, Gavin was hit by another apple. That was when he had a chiropractic.

Mentioning this years later is like the time of cosplay Frankenstein, Gavin said: "I learned patience during this time." I have to stay still for a long time and have plenty of time to observe and think. After I had been growing furniture for several years, a friend told me what it was like to be molded all the time, and only I knew best. "

The third apple has been

It didn't fall on Gavin's head until 20 years later.

He earned a degree in furniture design from art school, worked as an apprentice in a cabinet factory, and made furniture from native materials in Scotland and California for a long time, until he began to work as a gardener in California. in his spare time, he picked up driftwood to make furniture on the coast of San Francisco, and the third apple came late.

Watching the tide bring pieces of driftwood

Pieces are "stitched" in Gavin's hand.

And then turn into tables and chairs.

Gavin felt a sense of joy and achievement from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment he finally realized:

Why not just make the tree grow into the desired shape?

He was 30 years old at that time.

God, who has been throwing apples, finally smashed Gavin up.

After that 1% flash of inspiration

What happens next.

It takes 99% of the sweat.

Together with his wife Alice, he cultivated and trimmed the young branches and leaves with a special mold, and then grafted the different branches together when the time was right.

Next,

It's dry,

Polishing

Until you can see the texture of the wood.

"like bones, the strength is much higher after fracture healing, and the grafted wood is very strong." Alice said.

Plus you don't need nails.

It doesn't need too much retouching.

The furniture that grew out of the ground

It is much more durable than ordinary furniture.

This kind of furniture

What is the experience of using it?

"you're not sitting in a chair.

You've been sitting on someone for four years.

Four years of growth. "

Gavin said.

It takes four to eight years for a tree to mature from planting to maturity.
