The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

August Lounges

By DesignByThem

The August Collection, designed by Gibson Karlo, is an exploration of intersecting volumes and articulated geometries. An exercise in restraint, the design balances a minimal form with emphasised junctions to create a distinct, bold and inviting collection of armchairs and lounges.

Australian made, compact and versatile, August is aesthetically adaptable to a range of spaces. Dress up or dress down, the collection is available in a wide range of fabrics and leathers with or without decorative stitching.

Available as a 2-Seater Lounge and an Armchair.

“The August Collection initially began with a number of small sketches of intersecting colours, shapes and blocks during what is often a rare opportunity to have some unstructured and uninterrupted time where we can just freely sketch. It was during this time that a sketch of some intersecting rectangular blocks grabbed our interest and subsequent explorations of these blocks were done. These blocks then began to slowly transform into the primary forms that would go on to become the August range.”
– Nicholas Karlovasitis

“A fundamental part of the design is to highlight and exaggerate how the aesthetic and any decorative elements are driven by the function of its assembly and construction. The fabric and blanket stitching detail became integral to achieving a soft yet crisp form. The element is made through the assembly and construction of the piece.”
– Sarah Gibson
