Igloo property developers have commissioned Sarah Wigglesworth Architects to design a sustainable Christmas tree for their Bermondsey Square project, London, SE1.

Sarah Wigglesworth said: ‘We were really excited when igloo asked us to design a sustainable Christmas tree. The team brainstormed a number of ideas during a design charette. A theme emerged, the idea of promoting green transport in the capital, which relates to our cycle store, also in the Square.’

The tree is composed of 35 recycled bike wheels on loan from UK charity Re~Cycle whose mission is providing sustainable transport in Africa. The charity collects redundant bicycle parts which are shipped to Africa for use by local people and health workers coping with the AIDS epidemic.

David Roberts, deputy chief executive of igloo, said: ‘The Bermondsey Square tree not only looks great; it can be used year after year. It is designed so that it can be dismantled and stored. ’

One of my bikes is on the work stand in my living room right where I would normally put my xmas tree. So I either put it back together in the next few weeks or put some tinsel and lights on it?
