Botanist Minimal:
Constructed from sustainably harvested poplar and high grade engineered veneers, the Botanist Minimal has been designed with no visible hardware. It is composed of two distinct elements: a formed bentwood sleeve and a structural brace.

The Art of Reduction:
The minimalistic design is based on a reduction based process. The typical bench was examined and rigorously reduced to its essential elements. The basic components are a bentwood top which transitions into structural legs and a center rib for stability. 

Kickstart?
What is Kickstart? A funding platform for creative projects. A new form of commerce and patronage. On Kickstart, a project funding goal and time frame are established. In this case, Botanist Minimal is requesting funding to set up production – includnig tooling, materials purchasing and final packaging to get this piece into production. The funding request ends Friday. So far Botanist has exceeded its goal of $20,000 by $6,405. Five days are left to support this project.

Why Pledge?
Every dollar counts – if you help make this a reality, then Botanist Minimal will be available online or at a great design shop in the near future. You can feel great about helping make inspired design become a reality and know you helped a design studio get a chance at self production.

Botanist is offering nice incentives for those who join in: Most notably, PLEDGE  $299 and receive the All Wood Bench with a signature medallion and a limited edition Botanist poster. This piece will be listed at $799, so, in addition to supporting design, early backers receive a fantastic deal!

Most of us are familiar with it – some call it the Lipstick Sofa, but this piece is called Bocca. Designed in 1971 by Franco Audtrito & Studio 1965 who created cult objects that later became design icons of their time. Bocca was reissued in 2004 by Heller and is still being produced today. The sofa is indoor / outdoor and is made of a single piece of molded polymer. Bocca is regularly priced at $1100, but if you move quickly, PlushPod is offering one floor model for $825, a 25% discount.

American Expreess and Facebook teamed up to launch “Big Break for Small Business” which invited US based small business owners to enter for an opportunity to win a social media consultation with Facebook and $20,000 to help grow their business.
