Lindemann have trained their camera on their own collection of vintage trees, capturing them complete with hifi's and highballs.Aluminum trees were born in 1959 in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, once the 'Aluminum Cookware Capitol of the World.' Within a couple of years, shiny, foilbranched Christmas trees were being made by dozens of companies and selling in the millions.

Their most famous appearance was in A Charlie Brown Christmas, when Lucy ordered Charlie Brown to 'get the biggest aluminum tree you can find.'Today the trade in vintage aluminum trees is fierce, and these crisp, beautiful symbols of modern living are again brightening thousands of American holidays.
