Step 1

Begin by milling the structural skeleton from reclaimed white oak, treated with a structural mycelium-infusion process to enhance organic tensile strength. This ensures the frame can sway naturally with the tree host without losing its geometric integrity.

Step 2

Integrate the phyto-diffractive panels into the backrest, utilizing polarized glass shards encased in translucent resin to capture and scatter morning sap-flow light. These panels are calibrated to pivot as the canopy shifts throughout the day.

Step 3

Hand-carve the ergonomic seating surface with a series of microscopic grooves that mimic the natural capillary action of tree xylem. This creates a surface that feels perpetually temperate and responsive to the ambient humidity of the treetops.
