60 banana trees with more than 500 leaves between them
Installed in 6 countries, christening new stores in Monaco and London and helping set the scene at Milan Design Week 2019, the trees ranged between 2 and 8 meters tall. Each leaf was cut by hand from custom vac form sheets and assigned a specific placement. The fluorescent gradients were layered up one colour spray at a time, including on the dozens of accompanying cocoon chairs. Every tree had tufts of heat-bent grass placed around its base to help transition into the floor, some stores included ivy-like creepers and for Selfridges we painted matching 'wallpaper' panels loosely inspired by Henri Rousseau
