Description
The Botanist Lines Bench was designed by Massimo and Lella Vignelli in 2008. Massimo and Lella Vignelli decided to take the three basic ways of setting type as a reference, that are: flash left (for the long bench) centered (for the middle one) and justified (for the table) so they played the usual interaction between design fields. They were not interested in flowery patterns, so the lines were natural for them. The Lines Bench is formed from a quarter-inch aluminum alloy sheet, making it durable yet lighter than you might expect. The Lines Bench is then finished with a powder coating that is solvent-free and comprised of various synthetic resins, pigments and special additives for a high quality surface finish. These economic and ecological powder coatings represent the future of paint technology. The powder coatings are UV and weather resistant intended to be used outdoors. These benches are corrosion resistant so they are welcome in a damp environment and look great in a garden or around the pool.

Designer
 Massimo Vignelli, born in Milan, studied architecture in Milan and Venice. His work has been published and exhibited throughout the world and entered in the permanent collections of several museums. Lella Vignelli, born in Udine, Italy, received a degree from the School of Architecture, University of Venice, and became a registered architect in Milan in 1962. The Vignellis established Vignelli Associates in 1971 and seven years later, they formed Vignelli Designs, a company dedicated to product and furniture design. |
Design Benefits
 A percentage of the sale of the Lines collection goes to RIT. For the last 25 years, RIT has been collecting archives of the best modernist graphic designers of the last century and they really use this material for teaching, so the students learn, about History, Theory and Criticism, directly from the archive material. Really a rare opportunity, that no other Institutions share. RIT is expanding their collecting policy to include some product design and our Archive will be the first to cover the whole field of Design. Worldwide, it is quite rare to find an Archive Center for Design Studies that is well organized, always open to the students and scholars. The Vignelli Center for Design Studies at the RIT will be an alive place, to support the education of the designers of the next generations. |
