Project led by the architects from NL, reunited 100 trees in 100 shopping carts in a square, for the Urban Play event, in Amsterdam, Holland. The carts were put in a way, to block people from doing their usual way, forcing them to divert and walk in the middle of the mobile forest.
All of the trees, after the event ended (which lasted six weeks), have been donated, so, any person could grab a cart and take the tree home or plant in any urban space.
The Urban Play event is an international project organized by Droog Design, created and curated by Scott Burnham and presented as part of ExperimentaDesign Amsterdam 2008.
