An exciting project

This website is showing the third chapter of the Trees of the Planet project. The first was to come up with the idea and to collect addresses. The second was to invite artists around the globe and layout the books. The third last year supposedly marked the final stage: taking a year off, spreading the word about our project, inviting the people to the crowdfunding process, showing the book’s prototypes and telling the story of our amazing, creative and entrepreneureal voyage, that started February 21st in Ubud, Bali.

This didn’t work out so well. The crowdfunding unfortunately wasn’t resulting in a funding of the finance needed due to different reasons: The books are big and heavy, therefore we faced huge transportation cost. Also taxes and partly tariffs came up expensive. The whole Kickstarter process and backer kit fees are being calculated on top of everything. So we ended up needing a huge amount of money for both, every book and the entire budget.
