Sitting on trees used to be uncomfortable and dangerous, until Adi Zaffran Weisler came along with his RAWtation furniture set. This furniture set is made out of molded plastic and tree branches.
The RAWtation furniture set may not be much to look at, but it definitely shines in other areas. For one, these pieces can’t cost a lot to produce. Melted plastic and tree branches don’t command top dollar on the open-market. I’m all for cheap furniture that can be easily produced.
