Very interesting article and even know that table may be in style, but why spend so much time growing and perfecting such a beautiful tree just so you can set your coffee on it. I prefer the look of the bonsai tree as is. How much dose a table like this cost?

from NY times "On the opening day of school last month, Eindhoven's co-chairwoman, Li Edelkoort, made a speech recognizing in works like those of Mr. Baas a new direction. Impractical, conceptual and obtuse were out; solid industrial design was in. ''The time of Dutch design is over,'' said Ms. Edelkoort, a trend forecaster based in Paris who speaks with prophetic authority. ''It is now the time of Dutch industrial design.'' Ms. Jongerius, perhaps Eindhoven's best-known graduate and head of a department here, said: ''In America, even other countries in Europe, there is still room for the conceptual. In Holland, we've had too much.''

Anke Weiss is in the dutch trend that is now a storm, a tsunami of “product design”, “art design”, “concept design” , “sponge design” ,”bonsaï design”…
The main principes are: accumulation , nature pattern or ” nature product”, epoxy, glossy white…
it’s provocation and conversation starter… are we IN ?….is he IN? Starck said ” i killed design…” Do you think Starck design killed Starck or dutch design killed dutch design or dutch design killed Starck?

Apart from killing trees or bonsais, this is a table, right? how do you use this table for eating? you put a glass on the top or how? the bonsais can hold up the weight of the glass? this is really a table or just a ice sculpture?

took a lot of time, took a lot of effort, being busy with
typically something a housewife (or a houseman) would made in her spare time….

What are you people smoking? Killing things is something that is required to live – do you eat food? I don’t care if you are on a bread and water diet, that bread came from wheat that was grown in a field and then brutally chopped to death to make the grain, and most water is bought bottled in difficult-to-recycle plastic bottles that are shipped from Fiji and such by cargo vessels belching exhaust into the atmosphere. We aren’t going to reverse our failing global civilization if we do nothing more than jump on trends and pretend to adopt popular attitudes. This table should be the least of your worries, considering that it appears to be an exquisitely conceived and crafted piece, and especially considering that in the years that the trees were living, they would have more than offset the carbon used to create the table, thereby negating any negative environmental impact.
