There’s really no reason this couldn’t be done with glass – one of the most eco-friendly materials. It stands up much better to prolonged And in any case, there are always non-petrochemical sources for plastics. Either way, by the time a few generations of these chairs have matured, we will have learned a lot about the process.

I don’t really see how this is cruel to trees. It’s far less twisted than carving up a tree, planing it and then shaping it into a chair (not to mention the metal or plastic alternatives that are becoming mroe common all the time, niether of which has a small ecological footprint). How is this different from espallier, the art of tending a tree to grow up a wall, a traditional practice in the uber-green science of permaculture.

What’s really interesting about this design is the woodworking aspects. As a tree like this grew, it would have a consistent grain throughout the whole piece. Instead of being a bunch of individual straight pieces nailed, glued or screwed together (creating major structural weakpoints), creating an immensely strong form. It makes me wonder what other shapes we could grow – bridge arches? Building framing? We’re growing the trees to build this kind of thing all the time anyway, why not grow them in shape?

Robalot is right. I think to dispose of our garbage, particularly hazardous waste, we should be throwing it into volcanoes and/or burying it along subductive tectonic fault lines. I’m absolutely serious.

I love eco-morons who make the comment “will be in our environment for millions of years”. Hello?! Millions of years from now everything you see will have been subducted back into the Earth…and it goes round-and-round.
