Nacho Carbonell Combi Cocoon 2 (46/2016)

Combi Cocoon 2 is a light sculpture by Nacho Carbonell shaped as a sinuous tree, including a seat and side table growing organically from its welded metal roots. Carbonell’s art is experiential and tactile; the artist experiments with industrial and often recycled materials while putting the viewer in contact with the elements of nature.

The artist is fascinated by the power of plants to colonise their environment, however inhospitable, therefore why this tree grows from roughly hewn concrete block, representing an urban environment. To be surrounded by Carbonell’s large scale works is to be transported to a hybrid ecosystem.
