Gtree- Finding Design Inspiration in Nature Through Technology by Aleksandra Chargeshvili

Nature has always been a source of creative sparks, while today, technology opens new ways of seeing the world. In this project, the two merge.

Going back to first-hand inspiration by looking directly at the environment around us and using 3D scanning, we capture trees in the Netherlands and transform them into digital prints with a custom-built pen plotter and woven textiles. With the help of technology, we reinterpret what surrounds us—giving new life to overlooked details of the natural world.

By transforming digital data into physical materials, we explore how accessible tools can help us see, document, and experience nature in new ways. This process bridges the digital and physical, opening up fresh possibilities for design and making, while technology becomes not just a tool, but a way to reconnect with the landscape we live in.
