If you\u2019re a fan of architecture and design, you might know the work of Stefano Boeri<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, first by his time as editor of Domus, the Italian architectural magazine started by Gio Ponti in 1928, and where he\u00a0spent\u00a0three years before moving on to four years as\u00a0editor of\u00a0Abitare,\u00a0one of\u00a0the\u00a0world\u2019s best known design magazines. In his post-editor life,\u00a0Stefano\u00a0has turned his full attention to his own architectural projects. As part of an effort to revitalize Milan\u2019s historic city center, he recently completed a design for\u00a0two sustainable residential towers. Called Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest)<\/a> the apartments, are inspired by a need to create urban biodiversity, and will have more than\u00a0900 trees on 96,000 feet of terraces.<\/p>\n

So that brings us to the Milan Design Week in April of this year, when the 3M Design team collaborated with Stefano Boeri Architetti to create \u201cUrban Tree Lounge\u201d. It\u2019s more than a little nod to the importance that trees have played in Boeri\u2019s work, with a decidedly urban edge. The \u201ctrees\u201d are created using\u00a03M films, nonwovens, and adhesives, which created a\u00a0kaleidoscope of dancing light. At the base of the tree is space for visitors to rest weary feet (and as any design exhibition attendee knows, that\u2019s no small thing!). The reflective light created by the leaves was intended to inspire visitors to \u201creflect\u201d on their experiences in Milan and hopefully, the unexpected combination of materials and architecture would provide some inspiration fodder.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to an energizing exchange of ideas, we were able to achieve the goal of creating a conceptual tree that, like an organic one, absorbs, filters and mirrors the sunlight to create a shadow to reflect and recharge. It\u2019s my hope that this prototype can influence creative approach to design in public spaces,\u201d\u00a0said Stefano.<\/p>\n
