Got wood?

But, why (its existence) ?

I can't speak for the artist but I personally thing it's pretty cool. The drawers work and there are horizontal shelves in the upper case so it is functional.

Exactly. It's cool and also functional. It's also considerable appreciation for the skill that it takes to craft something of this complexity.

Of course, and as usual, you both make excellent points. It's just not something I would elect to have in my home, but since I respect and applaud just about all and any "art," I find its existence laudatory, at least.

If I had a home that had the space and style potential to accept such a piece, I'd love to have it, but those criteria stop me from this piece as well as almost any others -- just have no need nor any actual space for any additional furniture.

Maybe MOMA would have the perfect corner for it, right near some Brancusi , for a dramatic contrast.

Or better yet, how about next to or near a Giacometti ?

Judging from the aggregate of photos you have shared with us of dwellings like that one, above, it looks like a considerable number of people are spending considerable time romping around and in trees doing skilled carpentry, building themselves little cuddle-dens. Does this suggest that, somehow , they are amazingly free from being devoured by a zillion different species of insects (this is their planet , let's be real) that are only too happy to have humans as a snack?!? Ssshhhheeeesh! Am I the only one who needs a full-bottle spraying, head to toe, of "Off" to remain alive?!

Yeeegods , bear; coyote; wild boar (yes, throughout Upstate NY) ; mosquitos the size of ponies, and god-knowz what horrible human-abusing other critters await me on my sojourns in The Woods, and yet, there are folks doing skilled carpentry there!!!!!!!!!!!.

Apparently so. When I'm at my place in Pa I don't need bug repellent but rarely. You still have to drop by for a visit,

Hyperbole and hysterics and hand-wringing all at the same time....... Maybe cities are the unnatural and where the truly horrible human-abusing critters await you.
