The design Tree Fungus is a furniture where two halves of a pollard willow have been connected by a parasite-like structure. By means of this combination a roomdivider arises.
When you open a willow stem you will find a lot of fungi and moulds. The parasite-like structure is inspired on these fungi and moulds.
The pollard willow is a typical Dutch tree, but because of construction projects you will observe these trees fewer in Dutch nature. This willow had been cut down for such project.
This project has put in practice with artist Bauke Fokkema.
