One Thousand and One Nights is the idea of making wooden utensils and structures by using scraps of small to large from various trees which have beautiful natural colors and eye-catching patterns. Warm colors of woods and thousands of pieces with different shapes remind its viewer the atmosphere of Orientalist paintings and the stories of the One Thousand and One Nights. In this design, pieces of wood from hundreds of different trees that once together formed a living plant are reunited to build up a symbolic body, bearing the diversity of tree species in a forest.
