The TREE is a space divider designed by Professor Eero Aarnio for Martela Oyj's collection. Designed to add comfort, the Tree is 180 cm tall and 125 cm wide. Part of the income from each tree will be donated to a World Vision Finland regional development project in the Peruvian Andes that will plant fruit trees to halt and prevent erosion. The fruit from the trees will be an additional source of food, which will benefit local children in particular.
That's right, each Tree sold will produce four fruit trees in Peru. The fruit trees will benefit 300 families and 800 children regionally. I love the idea of playful art with goodness behind it. (via)
