Growing Chairs

By Queuebot in Architecture on Sep 29, 2009 at 1:22 pm

Amazing 1900′s green creativity from John Krubsack who decided to grow chairs! It took him eleven years to bend and graft stems and brances of  elder trees into the shape of a
chair before it was ready for ‘harvesting’. Krubsack is said to have said the chair was ‘cemented by nature’.

    I think we should hook a Hubbard Electrometer to rate the amount of pain it suffered and rate the torturous and low quality of life that tree had to endure.
