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.

IG Design and the importance of collaboration in local manufacturing

New from the IG Design collaborative label AMD Collective comes a beautifully crafted range designed and manufactured in Australia.


Collaboration. It’s at the heart of all that’s great in contemporary design, and as the world rapidly shifts to adapt to a changing creative and business landscape, it’s natural that local manufacturing and design would be a huge part of the collaborative process revolution. This is what drove IG Design to launch the AMD Collective.

A partnership between IG Design and a small number of Australian furniture manufacturers, AMD Collective sees collaboration at its core, creating a selection of statement pieces utilising the finest materials and local craftsmanship. More than great design, this is a celebration of what makes our region unique.

A collaboration between IG Design and Australia’s best furniture manufactures, AMD Collective creates bespoke pieces with the craftsmanship and care discerning specifiers, designers and design enthusiasts value.

Leading By Design – this is more than just a slogan for AMD Collective. The loose furniture collection is ideal for executive, front of house, mixed use commercial and hospitality purposes, with an organic and genuine aesthetic that does more than help finish the design of a room – this is a collective that helps support a healthy and vibrant Australian design and manufacturing industry.

Designers wishing to imbue a personal touch to a project or space need look no further. Through the team’s small batch, bespoke manufacturing facilities, each piece is given the care and attention to detail it deserves with a selection of timbers and cloth options available to meet individual specifications.

Also available to import from North America, Europe and Asia as a part of the IG Design extended procurement platform, AMD Collective offers contemporary commercial furniture, fit for purpose, and designed to last.

The world of design is always changing, but what’s consistent is the importance of supporting our local design culture. Through ongoing collaboration, this is what IG Design is doing with AMD Collective.
