Trees are under attack! They have pretty much escaped the attention of outdoor designers so far.
However this year, the new buzz has been about creating specific designs that “hug” trees and transform them into furniture.
We have seen tree tables and tree pots in many brand portfolios. The latest in line is Sardana by Qui est Paul?. Made to resist extreme heat or cold, the design includes a bench that wraps around a matching oversized tree planter.
You can go wild with this as the brand offers it in no less than 13 colors, all UV resistant. It is up to you to opt either for colors that blend in to the scenery and make the tree the true star or go bold and make a statement with bright yellow, pink, or purple.
The white version is equipped with light and I guess make the whole thing quite stunning in the evening… Well, hopefully as the price tag of $3500 USD is quite sensational too!

that looks fabulous! love those sleek curves! can’t imagine the logistics of transplanting a tree into that pot though. but if i could afford that huge planter, it means i could very easily hire pros to worry about the tree.

Amazing! The design about trees are one of a kind. Now, they are not just decorative pieces but part of the furniture. Great job. What you have posted are intricately designed. I must say, good job.

It’s a good thing to integrate trees in our environment BUT consider that many trees have e certain growth in girth, which will cause tree to strangle itself after a few years.
Considering the pot: The nutrients for the tree will soon be exhausted. This is just like bonsai growing in real size.
