Nature at home

Abstract

A selection of our chairs is on display at the TU Delft Hortus Botanicus for the summer. The Hortus has been conducting botanical research on plants for over 100 years. This has always focused on the use of plants by humans, as a source of food, medicine, fibres for textiles, and raw materials for buildings and furniture. In the coming years, the botanical garden will cooperate more with the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. A great opportunity to highlight developments in the use of plant materials in furniture together with the faculty's Chair Collection. In the exhibition at the Hortus Botanicus, we see chairs from the last two groups, together with the plants from which they are made.
