Description
The Botanist Orikami Cocktail Table was designed by Karim Rashid in 2008. Karim Rashid loves meaningful decoration. Historically, decoration was used as a form of language, as well as a means of denoting the possibility of the human hand, the richness of craft, the workmanship of a period. With automation and the industrial revolution decoration was developed to carry on the spirit of the past, and a way of humanizing industrial objects. Now in our new digital age we see new digitally inspired decorative language taking place. Once decoration spoke of ritual, religious iconography, or spiritual images - now Karim Rashid is interested in it speaking to us about our new spiritualism - the spirit of the digital and information age. The Orikami Cocktail Table is formed from a quarter-inch aluminum alloy sheet, making it durable yet lighter than you might expect. The Orikami Cocktail Table 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.
