What if, in an age of concrete and climate crisis, a new kind of tree could rise? “The Guardian” was born from this question.
It reimagines nature’s original design, the tree as a sculptural form of the future. One that doesn’t just stand still, but stands for something.
Its curved, stainless steel trunk twists upward like a natural growth, resilient, grounded, yet elegant. From its branches unfold solar canopies that mimic the shape of giant leaves or umbrellas, not only providing shade but also capturing sunlight to generate clean energy.
This is no longer a sculpture that you merely look at. It’s one you gather beneath. One that gives power back.
One that reminds us of our duty to protect the world, because the Earth has always protected us.
Each canopy contains solar panels ,positioned to maximize surface area and sunlight exposure throughout the day.
The energy can be redirected to power LED lighting. Provide public USB charging ports.
Sustainable living is not sacrifice, it’s design.
