For us, this is the point of social awareness: you do not only show some thing, but at the exact same time you give some thing special.” says Andras Huszar, architect of Hello Wood.</p><br/><img alt="sledges christmas tree hello wood 365 Sledges Christmas Tree By Hello Wood (HU) architecture " height="470" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sledges-christmas-tree-hello-wood___.jpg" title="365 Sledges Christmas Tree By Hello Wood (HU) architecture " width="560" /><br/><p>365 Sledges Christmas Tree by Hello Wood, photo: Daniel Domolky</p><br/><p>The Christmas tree was built in a week.

Then came the alpinists of Hello Wood, who have been working on the installation for 4 consecutive days, fixing the sledges on the wooden frame while hanging down from the best of the tree. Although the installation is pretty heavy, it appears lightsome: if you step inside, it feels like you are in the middle of a massive snowflake.”</p><br/><img alt="sledges christmas tree hello wood 365 Sledges Christmas Tree By Hello Wood (HU) architecture " height="784" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sledges-christmas-tree-hello-wood_____.jpg" title="365 Sledges Christmas Tree By Hello Wood (HU) architecture " width="560" /><br/><p>365 Sledges Christmas Tree by Hello Wood, photo: Daniel Domolky</p><br/><p>Maxim Bakos, 1 of the founders of Hello Wood, originally wanted to produce a forest created of sledges, then came the idea to develop a tree alternatively of a forest. “We have been pondering a lot about what the secret of an original Christmas decoration is. The sledges were the good selection, because they are symbolizing Christmas, but totally free from the commercial Christmas clichés and the general poor taste that comes with them.” says David Raday, creative leader of Hello Wood, one particular of the originators of the notion.</p><br/><p>Hello Wood is very best recognized for its flagship occasion, a a single week long art camp curated by founder Peter Pozsar each and every summer season.</p><br/><p>Idea: David Raday, Andras Huszar, Peter Pozsar, Maxim Bakos<br />Architectural plan: Andras Huszar, Peter Pozsar, Adam Fogarassy<br />Style: Benjamin Szilagyi<br />Statics: Gabor Csefalvay<br />Realisation: Hello Wood<br />Lights: Tamas Kiraly, Gabor Agocs (Philips Hungary)<br />Partner: Gabor Zoboki (ZDA)<br />Photos & video: Daniel Domolky</p><br/><p>to the Hello Wood site</p><br/><p>view much more architecture on Architonic</p><br/><img alt="p 365 Sledges Christmas Tree By Hello Wood (HU) architecture " border="" height="1" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/p____________________________________________________________________________________________________.gif" title="365 Sledges Christmas Tree By Hello Wood (HU) architecture " width="1" /><!-- Social Buttons Generated by Digg Digg plugin v5.3.6,<br/> Author : Buffer, Inc<br/> Website : http://bufferapp.com/diggdigg --><br/>
