This outdoor installation has been creatively crafted from a portion of snow collected from neighboring areas, while the rest came from ice cover sitting atop Lake Michigan. The curved shape of the legs of the amazing furniture is a result of slush shaped around a tree branch. This interesting exhibit will be seen till the cold winds can no longer keep the structures solidified.
