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.

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
