Homegrown Root Furniture

Conceptual furniture project by designer Kai Linke proposes the idea of growing furniture from plant roots.

Conceptual chair design with sprouts growing from it. Says Dezeen,

"Kai's experiments so far involve cultivating fast-growing plants such as grass, cress, bulbs and bamboo and chanelling their roots into a miniature chair-shaped mold. Once the roots have completely filled the mould it is removed, leaving a scale model of a piece of furniture.

This exploration is the first stage of a long term project, which Linke hopes will result in a full size chair made of roots."

Mold Making principles +a little Gardening = makes for some pretty wild Furniture Design. Still in the experimental phase, but very cool idea.
