"Furniture orchard" growing trees into chairs [View all]

A couple have spent nearly two decades growing furniture from living trees, creating what they call Britain’s first “furniture orchard”.

Alice and Gavin Munro shape young trees over frames, with each chair taking up to nine years to form before being dried and finished.

Their bespoke pieces have been sold as functional art for up to £75,000 ($100,000).

The pair now plan to share their techniques through a programme to help others grow their own designs.
