Orange22

Orange 22 is a design lab based in Los Angeles that creates and fabricates mass-market and limited-edition objects and furniture, brand-defining retail environments, residential interiors and design concepts licensed for mass production. The studio furniture has exhibited at the most prestigious international design shows in New York, Paris, Cologne and Milan.

The Botanist series by Orange22 was inspired by a black canvas and allows designers to create a collaborative product offering with internationally renowned designers and artists utilizing the infinitely interchangeable water-jet graphics, colors and surface materials. Eight designers have joined forces with Orange22 to launch the firm Blank Canvas Project. Each designer has created a new edition of the Orange22 indoor- outdoor, eco-friendly Botanist furniture. Orange22 matches the designers’ royalties to a foundation or charity of their choice which allows the designers to collaborate, create, and give back.
