Form and function has always been very important to our society. Even before electricity, running water and gas powered vehicles, our instinctive nature for creating items to sustain our basic needs with the best possible results, has been unequaled to any other species in our world. However, the need to be the biggest and the best in our endeavors is taking a toll on what once seemed an endless supply of wood from forests and natural resources that we use for plastics in our insatiable hunger for the most current of contemporary furniture.
Orange22, a Los Angeles based design firm that was founded in 2000, decided that it was time to give back to society and our world to begin the much needed change. Their newly released project referred to as Blank Canvas Project is doing just that. Chosen icons in the professional art world are stamping their personal mark of design, making it possible for everyone to enjoy a piece of signature art in their home that is both unique and functional.
The staff of Orange22 is dedicated to using only earth friendly materials in their designs in an effort to conform society into realizing that it is not necessary to destroy the earth to present beauty in designs. In addition to creating awesome one of a kind masterpieces, this group has yet another goal. The need for helping mankind with such problems as cancer, AIDS, and education are but a few of the areas where worldwide artists of today are leading.
The Botanist Blank Canvas Project was created by Dario Antonioni, Founder and Creative Director of Orange22, and has taken the furniture industry by storm. Starting with a basic curved bench made of industrial-grade aluminum and enamels, designers of the professional art world are stamping their personal mark of design, using only a remarkable type of water jet technology. Sharing profits from sales to charities and social causes makes this program beneficial to all.
One of the most popular pieces, a design by Antonioni and Brandon Lynne, is the Botanical Floral Bench that merges the outdoors and the inside with its floral stencil lain to one side. Powder coated in a variety of colors, this piece can adorn a hallway, living space or patio interchangeably. Both environmentally friendly and lightweight, this example of the Blank Canvas Project is perfect for any setting.
What manufacturing technologies can we leverage that create less impact or what type of new material can we use-or old material-so that we're benefiting the environment in the best way is a question that Orange22 designers constantly ask themselves. A commitment to this line of thought plus a dedication to individual charities is what drives this company's team to continue creating change to modern furniture now and in the future. - 15343
