Furniture description
They say Form follows function. Form also follows Nature, and Nature makes Forms that follow Function!
Take the case with trees for instance. Nature has been working hard on this cherry tree, I guess for at least fifty years. And then a lumberjack comes along and changes the whole design of it with his powerful saw in just a few seconds. After this terrible shock Nature starts up its work again. It arranges for an army of ants, bacteria and other micro-organisms to tweak the design. My part was not very important. I just sanded, sanded, sanded and finished off by adding some grape oil.
