It’s a plant stand that appears to be a plant itself, sprouting from the floor. Its “branches” support shelves for displaying art objects and potted plants (though it has a support at the back, the top platform cannot bear anything too heavy).The design highlights the flame-like grain of the exotic wood, accentuating the beauty of the organic material.
