Creative director Beatrix Eden: “During the summer of 2012, as thousands of people gather in London, visitors from across the globe will be stepping closer to one another. Inspired by the idea of the space between strangers becoming smaller we created the Baobab Tree as a unique meeting place for chance encounters sparking new conversations. Every culture uses fabrics and patterns, whether in traditional dress, uniform or decoration. Fabrics have always travelled, designs crossing borders, being altered and traded back. Within the fabric of our tree we hope that visitors will recognise threads from their own cultures woven into this meeting place at the heart of a global gathering.”
