This is pretty crazy/ingenious! Imagine the root ball shaped like the useful object ie chair, and then when the plant has exhausted itself, the dirt is washed away leaving this gnarled useful object. In death the roots become something preplanned. I don’t see the difference of say growing a fir tree in a forrest in order to chop it down for lumber, except you remove about a million manufacturing steps to get the end object by doing it this way. Brilliant.

Ok, it’s interesting. But why always making FURNITURE? There could be so much more opportunity using the same principle. Why every time someone design a new process, it has to be applied to a chair?
