The French artist responsible, Christophe Guinet, tells The Observer he has been “passionate about plants since adolescence”. The idea to combine human-made consumer goods with nature came to him in India, where he had travelled to escape the corporate grind. It’s also where he conceived his artistic persona: Monsieur Plant. See the rest of his work here the Knowledge
