The article mixes two things: Growing willows into furniture and turning driftwood into furniture. But yes, the seat is harvested, not transplanted. Still-growing furniture would be a heavy burden in maintenance.

Would be really cool though. I hope they start doing that in addition to the harvested ones.

Totally! It looked like the chairs were grown upside-down though, can kinda see why given the topology of most chairs vs tree topology, but hopefully just a bit more and/or stronger training and coppicing, seems like it should be possible to do a right-way-up one.
