Baresque Studio Collection launches ‘Botanist’ benches and side tables by designers including Karim Rashid and Yves Behar.
September 17th, 2012
We could throw all sorts of lines at this one: ’new benchmark’, ’sitting pretty’, ’the bottom line’… the list goes on. But to do so would actually detract from the endearing simplicity of this collection of seats and tables from Baresque.

“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.

Simple concept, big impact, charming result.
An array of sizes, a rainbow of colours and now made locally under license by Baresque, the range can also be customised to incorporate a logo, specialist colour or re-scaled.

In this candid interview, the culinary mastermind behind Singapore’s Nouri and Appetite talks about food as an act of human connection that transcends borders and accolades, the crucial role of technology in preserving its unifying power, and finding a kindred spirit in Gaggenau’s reverence for tradition and relentless pursuit of innovation.
Within the intimate confines of compact living, where space is at a premium, efficiency is critical and dining out often trumps home cooking, Gaggenau’s 400 Series Culinary Drawer proves that limited space can, in fact, unlock unlimited culinary possibilities.
In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
