Spark Design Award - Silver
The 2008 Spark Design Awards put more than 360 entries under the microscope last month, with the best being selected by a jury of prestigious names in global design. Spark is about change — designed change. Change for the better: studied, researched, cognizant, cognizant of criteria like sustainability, suitability, context, inventiveness, process, universality — and yes, beauty. Botanist is honored to have received such an award.
Contract Magazine’s Inspiration Award

A $5,000 award was presented to Dario Antonioni (founder of Orange22 and creator of Botanist) to benefit the foundations supported by the winning work. Antonioni spoke at the event and highlighted the importance of stepping beyond our egos to spread good through design and the passion that make us who we are.
