The Happy Tree Friend is based on the angle-poise task-light from 1933/34.
I may have succeeded to give this object new aesthetic, emotional and intellectual connotation by applying naturally grown wood in order to combine the contrast between nature and technical application in one object.
The Picture shows one of three existing prototypes. This product will be run in a limited edition soon. Pictures used with courtesy of pr-aachen photography
