Space divider from Iken
The Tree, a space divider, available from Iken and designed by Professor Eero Aarnio, was unveiled at the Milan Furniture Fair. Intended for restaurants and other public spaces, the Tree is also a sculpture and is made of techno-recyclable polyethylene.
Professor Eero Aarnio describes the birth of the Tree to many other products he have designed. Part functional object and part sculpture, it functions as a space divider, a decoration as well as a coat rack.
The proceeds of each Tree are used to plant four fruit trees in the Peruvian Andes as a part of World Vision Finland's regional development project to fight and prevent erosion.
