Although there are a lot of eco-friendly furniture available now, many of them are not entirely good for the environment, nor do they interact with nature. The Brench bench, however, is, and does, both. It is created without killing or stunting the growth of trees and puts you smack dab in the middle of a natural setting.
Created by Andries Vanvinckenroye, the Brench bench is made out of special bio-compatible materials, which allow it to rest easy in forests and even backyards. By attaching to two trees, the Brench bench easily accommodates those looking to put up their feet while keeping the trees out of harm's way.
