Full Grown

Full Grown is a UK company that grows trees into chairs, sculptures, lamps, mirror frames and tables.

[1] The original idea came from Gavin's childhood memory of an overgrown bonsai that looked like a small throne.

The inspiration lead to growing trees into chairs, sculptures, lamps, mirror frames and tables.

[2] The idea of growing trees for 50 years then cut them into small pieces glue together in ways that can only ever fall apart didn't seem to make much sense.

[11] Full Grown are using permaculture ideas to help with pest control and tending the field.

[1] The chairs are based on 18th century "Shaker" with some mid-century Scandinavian design centering around the idea the function is intrinsic to usefulness.

[2] The trees are gently manipulated to create the exact shape of chairs, tables, mirror frames or lamps.

You can't force the trees as a tortured branch dies back and will reshoot elsewhere.

They like the idea of offering other varieties such as cherry, oak and Gavins personal choice of ash.
