Botanist floor samples
Orange22 made a splash with its Botanist series of benches, end tables and cocktail tables, some with flowers and other motifs cut with water jets onto colorful industrial power-coated aluminum frames. Now the downtown Los Angeles studio is offering a 50% discount on floor samples, including a Flora bench shown here in blue (60 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 19 inches high), originally $1,250, now $625. The Flora end table (26 inches wide, 20 inches deep and 20 inches high) in pink has been marked down to $388.
The Natural series bench, which is covered in a wood veneer, has been reduced from $1,350 to $675; a Natural series cocktail table (50 inches wide, 25 inches deep and 15 inches high), originally $1,550, is now $775. 125 W. 4th St., Suite 102, Los Angeles; (213) 972-9922; www.orange22.com.
