This is no ordinary furniture showroom. In a field on the side of a hill 15 miles north of Derby lie row after row of perfectly maintained willow, oak, ash and sycamore trees. What clearly mark this field out from a regular forest are the blue-and-black plastic moulds that are training the trees in pre-defined routes, where they are gently and expertly manipulated into the exact shape of a chair, a table, a lamp or a mirror frame.
The idea isn't new. There is a forest somewhere in Europe (Poland?) where entire trees were being grown in the shape of the framing members of fishing boats. When the Nazis came through and killed everyone it was abandoned.
