Fallen Tree Bench From Glass And A Real Oak Tree

Created by designer Benjamin Graindorge, FallenTree is a minimalist bench made from little more than a slab of glass and a carefully carved oak tree. Both parts are perfectly combined to create this remarkable piece of furniture with practical function and conspicuous design. The idea of the project was to highlight the natural beauty of the real tree, which looks very dramatic, to emphasize the nature of wood as a living substance. Graindorge chose to leave the original branches from the tree intact as support on one end of the bench as reminder of the wood’s living origins because this way the tree looks strong, inflexible and eye-catching.
