the idea of a tree designed by mischer'traxler
'The idea of a tree' is an autonomous mechanical production process. It is driven by solar energy and translates the intensity of the sun through a mechanical apparatus into one object a day.
The machine slowly grows the object, by pulling threads through a colouring device, a glue basin and finally winding them around a mould. The length/height of the resulting object depends on the sunhours of the day. The thickness of the layer and the colour is depending on the amount of sun-energy. (more sun = thicker layer and paler colour less sun = thinner layer and darker colour)
Each object represents one day at the spot where it was produced.
various objects are possible
so far a bench and a lamp
production on request
