Our Manufacturing Process
Check out this cool video on the entire Botanist fabrication process: http://www.whitecanvas.com/whitecanvas/3-orange22
Our simple aluminum forms are called "blank canvases". They can easily be adapted with color and graphics to capture emerging trends in design. We utilized water-jet cutting technology in order to offer future designers an unlimited playground of surface disruption opportunities. Since most of the process is automated, we have been able to keep manufacturing in the US, reducing lead times and enabling custom applications for architects and interior designers. Our product are made to order and ship directly from the factory to your home reducing costly storage and transportation costs and carbon emissions.
