Being shipped as we speak, we look forward to introducing them to you at this year's Saturday in Design being held on Friday July 31 and Saturday August 1. Milan Furniture FairApril 28 , 2009
You saw it here first! Mike Botton reports from Milan on the Salone Internazionale del Mobile Milano 2009: The Milan furniture fair finishes Monday 27 April having seen record attendances, surely an indicator of business optimism in the face of nightly gloomy reports on the TV news channels of every hotel room. I spent 4 days at the fair and the equally impressive fringe fair ? Fuori Salone ? to bring back the latest in creative ideas, products and technologies. The overwhelming impression was colour ? whether in wildly outrageous retro lounges or the sleekest of minimalist designs, a full spectrum of bright colours predominated. To express these colours designers employed rich felted fabrics on one hand as well as plastics of all kinds with a growing use of roto-moulded polyethylene and lustrous polycarbonates. The forms are sinuous, sensual and playful, suggestive of attention to both comfort and structure. Texture and pattern are added to many surfaces through the use of random perforations or more ordered traditional repetitions either laser cut, engraved or printed. I leave Milan reinvigorated and excited about bringing new products and ideas back to our team and most importantly to our customers. Robina OpeningApril 2 , 2009 The 900 seat Food Court at Robina Town Centre is the focal point of the $300 million refurbishment by Bovis Lend Lease of the QIC flagship retail centre in SE Queensland. Botton and Gardiner was specified by the Buchan Group and contracted by Bovis Lend Lease to supply & install all the food court tables, dry bars, litter bins, waiters stations banquette seating and many of the chairs & stools. The design of the food court centres around an oval core with bamboo floor, sumptuous red upholstered banquettes and playful plastic ottomans dotted casually around stone tables. The core is surrounded by a number of dining ?nodes each with its own character defined by the colour and shape of the stone tables and the style of seating. The variety of seating includes timber, plastic, metal and laminated chairs & stools as well as upholstered banquettes, ottomans and lounges. The overall effect is of a lofty generous space which is uncluttered and provides plenty of choice for customers to enjoy a variety of dinning settings. Botton & Gardiner completed the works on schedule and to the total satisfaction of the project managers and designers alike.

Tweed City Reopens with b+g Food CourtJuly 17, 2008
The redevelopment of this 43,500sqm shopping centre, includes several major retail outlets, 105 specialty shops, a new 570 place food court and a 6 cinema complex. The new food court presents a clean contemporary look without compromise to comfort and a sense of spaciousness. Seating includes upholstered banquettes and a variety of chairs from solid timber to flexible laminated plywood. A feature of the table layout is the inclusion of a number of communal tables (mensa tables) which allow patrons to gather in larger social groups or families. The space is defined and flanked around its perimeter by low walls and dry bars of varying height, offering more variety and seating options. Throughout the design development process Botton & Gardiner worked closely with the interior design team at The Buchan Group to arrive at a furniture solution that reflected the designers' vision of design excellence and functionality while offering competitive value and uncompromised quality. Under contract to Broad Construction Services, Botton & Gardiner went on to manufacture and install all of the furniture and fixtures for the food court and malls. Once again we were able to demonstrate our ability to deliver a turn key solution on time and with the highest level of cooperation with the principal and other subcontractors and to the full satisfaction of our client.

that users and their pets can always find plenty of fresh drinking water.
The next major parkland development will occur at Pimelea in Bossley Park
where the Prospect picnic settings of tables and benches will be configured
to accommodate large family groups. The Western Sydney Parklands Trust
is committed to an ongoing program of upgrading existing parks and providing
new facilities in the region which will feature the Prospect range of
furniture by botton + gardiner. 
The
newly formed Western Sydney Parklands is not a small project, the area
covers 5,280 hectares, the parklands are a vast conservation, lifestyle
and recreation area that stretches for 27km, from Quakers Hill in the
north to Leppington in the south. In August botton + gardiner's submission
for the design competition was selected from proposals by the five local
design companies, as the suite of park and public space furniture for
the Western Sydney Parklands project. The street furniture suite
is purposely designed to integrate the existing elements of the parklands
as a thread to form a visual connection between precincts. The furniture
suite consists of seat, picnic setting, backless bench, bike racks, bubblers
and bollards. Western Sydney Parklands is used by many people, each with
different needs and with this in mind the furniture has been designed
with many strong features such as wheel chair access, larger picnic tables,
bubblers which facilitate the filling of water bottles and even a water
bowl for dogs. Another key area within the design is a focus on sustainable
development ensuring minimization of material wastage and using highly
durable materials such as
