Trend Spotting - Silver Birch
Posted by Jenny - February 05, 2011


The elegant Silver Birch with it's ethereal white trunk represents the tree of Venus. It is believed to protect against evil spirits & the evil eye but also symbolises love & fertility.
Nature's perfect companion & an eternal inspiration to writers, poets & artists.
I spotted these lamps, made using silver birch trunks & designed by Bleu Nature, at Maison et Objet last month. Although I'm not entirely sure how successful they are. What do you think?
I much prefer this idea captured by photographer, Annika Vannerus, as spotted on Emmas DesignBlog. A little less practical but wonderfully romantic...
