Revealing the organic curves of nature in the metal block with great talent, Pierre Salagnac has made a name for himself in the world of interior design thanks to his Bonsai Trees that he has “planted” all over the world.
The artist creates the trunk by sculpting the shape and texture directly into the bronze material. The 265 different models of leaves are molded, casted and chiseled one by one then finished with 24k gold. The floor part is sculpted from brass and also finished in 24k gold, before being embedded in a traditional Japanese ceramic pot.
Unique piece, made in France.
