Banksia Design Series

This series is inspired by the Australian Banksia Pod. In fire-prone regions, many plants evolve remarkable adaptations to survive. One such adaptation is the ability to harness fire's heat and smoke to help disperse seeds. The Banksia relies on both fire and water, as the follicles only split open to release their seeds after they’ve been burned by fire and soaked by the rains that follow. These clustered openings, or seed chambers, are visually captivating and a joy to carve and arrange into different designs.
