Very timely for the Chelsea Flower Show: Full Grown’s furniture cultivation and harvest

I found out about this project quite by chance from a newsletter and am amazed it hasn’t had more publicity.

In another example of a simple and commonsensical idea being tweaked, Gavin Munro is farming furniture. Read the back story to his Full Grown project here. I’m intrigued by the fact that a traditional horticultural practice has been adapted to produce one-off pieces of furniture.

The hexagon pendant below will be the first item available next year with chairs ready from 2017.

Here are the chairs in cultivation
