Sprouting Bench by Studio KAA
The sprouting bench by Kois Associated Architects is a proposal for a public bench. The initial idea was to design a morphologically “live” object which alludes to plant growth patterns. The research was orientated towards studying processes of morphogenesis, self generation, self organization and growth of plant systems. The outcome was the creation of a sculptural object. The bench was constructed primarily out of metal, applying manufacturing techniques used in the brass (pneumatic) instruments production and the seating surfaces were made out of beech wood.

Fantastic! The view from beneath reminds me of mushroom stems.

The sense of natural yet artificial feeling is fantastic.

I like the theme that conveys the sense of natural yet artificial feeling.
