Why brutally chop down mature trees and cut them up so they can be made into chairs and tables? Full Grown plants trees that are trained and pruned as they grow over specially made frames, and are later grafted together to complete the item of furniture they are growing into; when the item is ‘fully grown’, it is harvested, planed and finished. Full Grown says the procedure uses much less energy and is less wasteful than conventional methods of making furniture from wood.
It takes between four and eight years to grow a chair, and the operation is relatively small-scale in terms of output – the company is only producing about 50 items of furniture a year. Customers can pre-order pieces currently being grown, or commission bespoke pieces.
