Living Plant Furniture

Diminutive furniture grown from plant roots is the focus of an art project from German designer Kai Linke. The project, aptly entitled Deformation Roots, involves using various bulbs, sprouts and plants to create small furniture forms.  Once a wooden frame is filled in with the roots, the frame is removed and a living table, chair or stool form remains.

“The idea referring to this concept arises out of the abstract conflict of deformations in nature. Deformations can be caused by human hand consciously or by coincidence, explains the artist in a Dezeen interview. “The intervention of humans into the growth of a plant can be described as deformation. The human is the activator for a modified plant-growth.”
