The "No Ornamentation" series by Claude Zellweger offers a commentary on what the designer calls a "systematic overuse of ornamentation in contemporary furniture." A series of ornamental negations are layered along one edge just opposite to this table's ending statement, "Just an end table". As Zellweger points out, this "cheeky manifesto…results in ornamentation in its own right." This End Table is offered in a Just Black powder coated finish. And manufacturer-matched designer royalties benefit Architecture for Humanity, an organization seeking architectural solutions to humanitarian crisis and offering design services to communities in need.

Botanist End Tables are made to nest over the Cocktail Table, combining to create a layered look that highlights the complimentary surfaces and materials. By combining the two, a small storage area is created that can be used to conceal magazines, remotes, and incidentals.

Notes: All Botanist pieces are made from an aluminum alloy that is highly corrosion resistant, even when used outdoors. Please note that there is a 10 to 12 week lead time in shipping on this product.
