“Botanist” originated as a collection of benches with original motifs water cut into a slim aluminium profile for use indoor and out.

High profile designers like Karim Rashid and Yves Behar were invited to create a unique treatment for their own model. Each designer in turn then elected a charity to receive a portion of their sales.
