Upside Down, the seat-tree Wubben Floris

Inspiration from nature is not just trying to emulate, but also sometimes disrupt: the case of this chair, designed by Dutch designer Floris Wubben in collaboration with the artist Bauke Fokkema, who not only inspires, but uses exactly a natural element inverting it. Upside Down Church, which as the name implies, is a chair made from a willow tree, but it reverses the elements: the branches are the “legs” supporting, while the trunk, where he was made the seat itself, is above the branches. In fact, the feel of a tree instead. ” The result is a chair “primordial”, which evokes atavistic feelings, but perhaps also visually interprets the suffering of a cut tree.
