Weaver’s Nest by Animal Farm
Cape Town designers Animal Farm have produced an “organic lounger” made from woven branches that hangs in a tree and is reached by a rope ladder.
The structure, based on a weaver bird’s next, consists of a welded steel frame covered in woven branches.
Suspended three metres above the ground, the nest can hold two adults and a small child.
The designer, Porky Hefer, is currently producing a second, larger nest which can carry four adults.
