Pooktre

Came across this today while looking for material for the wiki. Here's the background:

"In 1986 Peter had the idea of growing a chair. Nine years later Peter and Becky became partners. Pooktre was born. Together they have mastered the art they call Pooktre, which is the shaping of trees as they grow in predetermined designs. Some are intended for harvest to be high quality indoor furniture and others will remain living art."

They make people, mirrors, coffee tables, chairs and other pieces of furniture. Not only are their designs beautiful but the patience required for this type of art is amazing.
