Yasmeen Almuhanna: Looking Out Week 11

Harvey Nichols does it again...this time commissioning Charlie Whinney-steam wood designer for the 2009-2011 window display. 


Artfully sculpted around the front door of the department wasthis huge 50m long sculpture that runs the entire length of the front of the store and forms the window display as it flows through 11 windows and over the main entrance.




Made of oak and ash and using the art of steam-bending, it brings the smell and look of freshly cut trees to the downtown. The sculpture incorporates real branches, roots and a tree-stump as it winds its way through the store.
