Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Illuminating Lighting Designs

An astutely observed gap in the market brought about one of About Space’s continuously best selling lighting designs.


About Space is an Australian owned and operated lighting business that has been in business for more than a decade. In that time it has established itself as a destination for Design Hunters, architects and interior designers alike. With three showrooms across Sydney and Melbourne, About Space has also managed to create a relationship between client and creator.

In fact, this is how the ever-popular 2BY range came into being nearly five years ago. Noting a gap in the market for a pendant light that had a warm natural finish About Space decided to create one for themselves.

The 2BY4 was the original product in the range and was quickly proceeded by the 2BY4 Round. Last year, the Brass/Aluminium finish was added. Today, the full 2BY range comprises the 2BY4 Square, 2BY4 Round, 2BY3 with Brass/Aluminium, 2BY2 Square, and 2BY5 Square.

The pendants are most commonly made from Victorian Ash, but are also available in Walnut or Black Japan Stain, and finished in Beeswax. All timber options are sources locally and PEFC and FSC certified. A small amount a customisation is available – through flexible drop lengths and pendant length ranging up to 3000 millimetres. Being individually manufactured in a local joinery studio, no two lights will ever be the same.
