Projects > Ice & Snow Furniture Raised From Lake Mendota

The icy furniture was created on frozen Lake Mendota near the UW-Madison Memorial Union Terrace shoreline. Visitors stops by taking pictures, eating ice cream with snow bowls and trying the cold ice chairs. The icy furniture makes the winter Terrace shoreline a place to enjoy winter fun.

The furniture is raised by following the nature using local climate and natural resources to please people in winter. They connect the lake, the land, the air and the people and complete a sustainable life cycle with minimum environmental impact. Environmental artist wants climate furniture to raise up awareness that we can make a sustainable world with less or without negative impact.

Following the weather changes, the furniture will back into the lake and become a part of the water body again and complete their beautiful green life cycle.
