The Trunk- 12.13.06

stumpy.jpg
When is a tree not a tree? Or is a tree still a tree if its chopped to a stump, and then covered in polycarbonate that is screened with cow prints? I’m not sure exactly - but these were strangely appealing… instead of making that next tree into firewood, coat it in steel and use it as a stool, side table, or a coffee table base? “The inside is the European oak wood dried in a special dryer for 2 months.Then it’s covered in steel sheet or in polycarbonates with silk screened images of tree, grass or leaves. The bottom surface of the trunk has a felt protection, so it doesn’t scratch the floor.” Produced by Malafor Small Laboratory of Forms. For more info, contact Gosia I.

Notes

I love these stumps. I’d keep one of these by my front door; so I could rub it for good luck every time I left my home. Much like as if I was about to perform at Harlem’s own Show Time At The Apollo. Very cool.

all I want to know is where can I get some of these?? I work in a ganite shop and they would be absolutely amazing for coffee table legs.
