Forest Tales comprises 22 pieces of wooden furniture with low and no-carbon footprints, designed by the likes of Heatherwick Studio, Studio Swine, Taiho Shin, Maria Bruun, Simon Gehring and more. The exhibition utilizes the very wooden crates used to transport the pieces to create a 'cratescape', which draws inspiration from the opening scene of the film Citizen Kane. Hand painted scenes of woodland landscapes adorn the boxes depicting the site of a forest.
