Human and nature had intimate relationships back in the hunter-gatherer era. However, lack of nature connnectedness has became one of the core cause of climate crisis. It is a common phenomenon in developed cities especially, that human tends to be distanced from nature, not only causing health issues for us but also reduces people's awareness of nature.
Natural waste resources such as leaves and seed shells are often overlooked by people, as their existence does not have any impact on nature lives as well as human lives. So why not take advantage of these wastes and give them a purpose in our lives? Through furniture making, these wastes can encourage people to sense, celebrate natural resources, interact with nature through foraging and collecting things in nature. Beechmast is the seed shell of beech tree. It is a waste from nature and a free material source. This project demonstrates the potential in this material where they may someday become a more sustainable alternative of man-made materials, and also encourages people to forage and celebrate natural resources.
