Flat Pack Modern Christmas Tree
07Dec07
In keeping with the holiday spirit I thought I would finish the week off with one more Christmas post. This one comes via treehugger. Designed by Australian Designer Buro North, the “X-Mas Tree” is the first contemporary artificial Christmas tree I have ever seen. Instead of trying to make it look like a real tree, Buro focused on making it look good. What a novel idea. This mod little tree is made of plywood and CNC routed. Not only does it look good, but it’s good for the environment as well. Buro has done an entire LCA analysis and states that his tree is 80% more green than a traditional Christmas tree. This flat packed beauty is available in three sizes and prices.
Small $69 AUS - 400mm ($60 USD 16″)
Med $229 AUS - 930mm ($201 USD 36″)
Large $1619 AUS - 2300mm ($1425 USD 90″)
Available directly from Buro North

Do y’all think it would look good with ornaments, or would that ruin the modern flavor?
(sorry, part of a sentence was missing from the first post)
