The Living Tree

The Living Tree's twisting pole geometry, inspired by Charley Brentnall, is made from forest thinnings and salvaged dichroic glass that both reflects and refracts coloured light. It invites quiet reflection on our connection to the living world and to one another, and was created for Forest of Imagination 2026 at Entry Hill.

The five-meter-tall twisting geometry of the Living Tree is constructed using sustainably sourced thinnings from a local woodland and is co-designed with Charley Brentnall of Xylotek, Alexandre Mballa-Ekobena, Momentum Engineers and realised by Carpenter Oak with support from Shedworks.
