That's really mind-blowing examples for living furniture. I just surprised to look this allocation at all. I love it very much. Thanks for sharing...

The Pooktre is second to the lovely bench in Tel Aviv in my book.
The first picture is a lovely representative of 'found furniture' which is also a viable alternative.

I'm pretty sure the first photo is not actually a living tree. I believe it to be a tree washed up on Lanikai Beach. I have similar photos from December 2009.

Dear Mr. Nelson,
Someone has stolen your ninth example, as there are only eight displayed (and one is merely a convenient tree and not, in fact, a piece of furniture). You might want to look into this.

There are 9 slides, but only seven examples as stated in the headline. Sorry for the confusion

I love the furniture. The pooktre and the grass chair was my favorites.

When people think of green furniture, they usually imagine furnishings made from sustainably harvested, local materials. For a select few, furniture is truly green only if it's literally green — as in leafy, mossy, still alive and growing. Indeed, the furniture with the lightest environmental impact is furniture that’s alive. To prove that nothing has to die purely for humankind’s comfort, here are nine examples of living furniture.
