Taro leaf inspired “Humming Tree” is a fusion of dining table and floor vase to hold human sized dry/fresh flowers, leaves, and tree branches. City life has become mentally exhausting, and it’s less contact with natural environment has many negative impacts. The design intent is to let the senses of the diners explore the immediate surrounding and experience the natural elements, thus help in reducing mental fatigue. It is a see through design with the leaf structure split into two distinct Skin and Bone components, and the leaf form becomes apparent when the two components overlap.
