Green technology, urban gardening and yes chair farms. Designers at Studio Aisslinger have created a new unheard of agricultural phenomenon, but how? With the use of a metal frame, a greenhouse, soil, patience and the growing components needed, the Chair Farm gives way to what can actually produce a chair.

Symbolic of the increase of urban farming, green spaces, shared gardens and exciting new agricultural experiments, the berlin and singapore-based designer and architect Werner Aisslinger believes that everyone has the possibility of becoming a producer of agricultural products.
What a better way to show the work and natural resources used in furniture manufacturing and design than a Chair Farm? Through a sustainable agricultural lab the Chair Farm project "offers one the ability to plant and naturally grow their own chair" says Werner.
The initial Chair Farm prototype consists of:
A perforated steel corset that acts as a mould to guide the plant in the right direction while growing Once the plant has reached maturity, the plant is released from the frame revealing a naturally grown chair (see below) 
In what was started as a foundation for new thought, Werner's simple yet radical design aims to lead consumers into a new direction of sustainable production methods within the future of the furniture industry.
