Commissioned to create press for the Yellow Pages, the tree house was built using only resources from their book. The restaurant was designed by Pacific Environments Architects.
Now, I can't stand the Yellow Pages, as far as I'm concerned it is as obsolete as the dinosaur.
However, I do love this concept, a great way to create interest in your brand and get people talking, positive and negative.
Er, uhm, seems to be working, hence this post.
Now for the facts:
Every year in the United States alone 500 million directories are printed—enough for nearly 2 books for every person in the country—that’s 9 million trees harvested, 1.6 billion pounds of paper consumed, 7.2 million barrels of oil spent in processing, and so on.
The E.P.A. estimates that directories account for up to 5% of total landfill waste.
Gross.
Still like the tree house, though!
