About Flora and Otto

A mosaic armchair called Flora and a matching ottoman called Otto, made from pieces of china broken in the Christchurch earthquakes. The inlaid patterns use fragments from broken cups and plates, and the piece sits next to the heritage rose gardens. Visitors call it beautiful and historically significant, and say an information sign gives the story. One visitor said it is worth a visit if you are at the botanic gardens or nearby.
