Nature has always been the best example for building and designing proving to beinspirational to artists, architects, engineers and scientists trying to come up with new andefficient designs. Although humans are great at coming up with innovative ways of solvingproblems, often nature has already done the work through billions of years of evolution andnatural selection to help species survive in a variety of conditions.
Furniture design is one of the best examples of building on what nature has provided.
Either made out of metal, wood or glass, the most important quality furniture design isthe power to create a warm and welcoming space.
These pieces are less about reshaping the natural materials and more about celebrating itas a found object featuring natural form as a major design element - man embraces nature. Ineach case, the human hand carefully sculpts, assembles or highlights. In a new twist on modern,minimalisim is applied to intervention instead of form.

The designers sculptural piece looks a
bit like a mutant green tulip, but it opens to a
delightful table with attached seating.
This would be a great piece for
commercial establishments that want compactable
tables and seating, or for individuals that want
something a little different in their homes, perhapsas a poolside dining area.
The green petals of the flower are
actually chairs that eclipse the centre table. When not
in use, it would wrap up and stand tall as an
attraction.
When you are done using it, just pack it
back together and store it in a closet

are : rill, icelandic tree, and bee.

inspired by natural element and surroundings which have
graphically designed leaves and branches as extensions of
the structures such as the icelandic tree shelving unit.
Besides of its primary
functionality, the Vjunok modular
shelving units can be used as part of roomdecoration, dressing up the walls to make
them look something more than simple
and beautiful and adding a focal point to
any room interior.
