Pine Art Furniture

This is a form of art that i stumbled across when i was researching forms of unique production for wooden materials. i find the concept of taking such a simple idea and making it so beautiful facinating.

These furniture pieces / sculptures are made of chopped pieces of pine wood, which give away the artist’s closeness to Mother Nature. The wood pieces are brought together and crafted to make this attractive piece of art. The creative style of the geometric form is unique and powerful in its simplicity

Fresh-Chair


I personally have a fascination with plant life and i love to incorporate it into my design process as much as possible. when i came across this design i was amazed by the concept. it has inspired me to incorporate plants into design in an entirely different way.


This is a public bench called Fresh Chair, a place where you can stop and rest. An integrated plant-world coexists with the comfort zone and is used to trap and harness energy to power LEDs as night lights. They also provide a cooling mist during the summer heat.

  I found this Radio Design when i was reserching current Eco radios. i am just facinated by the craftmanship that is put into the production.
  It is producted from waxed and oiled wood: scots pine (the lights wood) and sonokeling wood (dark coloured wood)
  The Designer 'Mango' took insperation from past Radio Designs

The Magno Radio has a highly appealing mix of retro and modern styling. Each wooden radio is made in an environmentally sustainable production process, which covers fair social standards for workers. MP3 compatible. Each radio arrives with a wooden connecting cable to connect iPods and mp3 players directly to the radio.
