Tree-based installations offer sanctity and raise awareness
Tre - In urban areas, the scarcity of trees can lead to a lack of awareness around their ecological importance and vulnerability–a fact which brands and designers are aiming to mitigate with specialty, tree-based installations. These installations place the topic in front of consumers both visually and intellectually.
Insight - Many consumers living in dense urban environments are rarely exposed to green space, unless they specifically seek them out. The benefit of connecting to nature is the sense of escapism it offers, particularly for those who aren't accustomed to interacting with it on a daily basis. The enhanced prioritization of green spaces in urban areas comes with consumers' push for re-connecting with their nature-based proclivities amidst the busyness of life in a city.
