Trees patiently grown into art and furniture
Full Grown designs and grows furniture and other useful products. But more than that, they have developed a new manufacturing system: bypassing current wasteful methods by growing and then grafting tree shoots directly into solid shapes and forms.
They solve two main problems for their customers without compromising quality or functionality:
- Firstly, the feeling that some things could be produced much more efficiently and beautifully, with less waste and without the need for unfair labour practices. Instead of growing trees for 50+ years only to cut them up and stick them back together in different forms, Full Grown’s approach is simply to grow the end product.
- The second problem they solve is the feeling that many people have of being ‘disconnected’ from both the natural and human-made world by the mass-produced objects that surround us.
The results serve a practical function, but are also a way of bringing the culture of the countryside into a home or office.
