POOKTRE:There are many trees in our valley that have learned us a lot about the history of the tree, the reactions and responses trees with external forces. The lessons they teach are for example, by integrating their reactions into the design, making the tree response function of the final result. "If I do, the tree will do that. '' Understand the behaviour of the tree made design much more diversified.

Our crucial discovery was the area of formatting. The formatting area is an area of a tree that can be guided in any form without damaging the tree. We also learned how trees can produce wood of muscle to strengthen or modify the orientation of their trunks and branches, especially when they grow along the waterways. Trees that grow along the rivers are pushed during the floods and have the ability to stand back, making them less fitting to shape, especially willow.

For example, we were growing chairs much like this. We thought that the trees in a loop around him more work as a way to create a junction, but five years later, we started to have doubts. We have harvested one of the chairs but has left others growth. This was fortunate, because after five years, we found that it works and it is beautiful too. So we are always our refining process. In general however, the process is very simple and we can design a piece and know exactly how it will turn out, or someone can show us a design and we can tell them its future.

POOKTRE:Very few people have seen our trees here in our forest. However when our work has been shown at the Japan a man danced with delight in front of a tree of people.
