Stylish aluminum furniture in the form of Botanist cocktail tables
25th December 2007
Botanists make me think of intrepid creatures to venture out into uncharted woods and jungles to find and document yet undiscovered species of plant life – just because it’s what they want to do; they aren’t in it for the money. I don’t think anybody has ever made millions of dollars from finding a new species of a bush or tree, have they? But the plants they find can be not only pretty, but have life-changing implications too. For instance, a number of them have been discovered to have compounds that can treat various diseases.
The Botanist cocktail table designed by Dario Antonioni and Brandon Lynne is a great tribute to botany and botanists worldwide. It looks so attractive with its floral motif, and it is eminently functional and practical too. Paired with suitable contract café chairs, these tables would look so charming in any restaurant, bar or café. They aren’t flashy-looking, only having subtle designs and vivid colors. They are great examples of understated elegance.
The Botanist tables are available in either wood veneers or powder coated finishes; the latter is suitable for use as outdoor bar furniture since it is resistant to corrosion. All the tables are lightweight but study, being made of aluminum that is a quarter of an inch thick. The aluminum is cut, shaped, and then welded. The floral designs are created with the use of a water jet process, that’s why they look so smooth and elegant. Whether you choose the powder coated or wood veneer versions, you can be assured of their ease of matching other pieces of furniture in your establishment.
The feet of the Botanist cocktail tables are made of rubber. Powder-coated finishes are available in several colors: brushed aluminum, red, black, blue and white.
