Perhaps we can say that one of the goals of a good designer is to surprise. That is, to do something unique and unusual, something that attracts attention. A man named Anke Weiss did it wonderfully well.
We already know him. The project "Love in the City" is his handiwork. But this time we will focus on a specific subject, and not as an example of a more incredible one.
This is a table made up of 150 bonsai trees. Asian culture has long attracted and lures Europeans, but never before has it taken on such a bizarre look.
Each tree grew for no less than seven years. Then the designer connected them and secured with resin. The design resembles a network, which in itself evokes many associations. This includes penetration into the smallest worlds: cells, molecules; and natural things from life: fishing nets, trees, maps; and distant galaxies. And the Internet too.
At the top of the table, the trees are cut flat. This symbolizes the forest, or rather, the land, which for centuries has supported its substantial weight.
Since the material is exclusively natural, this table is reminiscent of the natural beauty of nature. After all, each tree of which it consists is itself a work of design art.
