DESIGN BY THEM
Cover image missing

Established in 2007, DesignByThem was founded by industrial designers Sarah Gibson and Nicholas Karlovasitis. Based in Australia, the company is run by designers who are dedicated to creating and producing unique products for design professionals and enthusiasts alike. DBT products are designed by Australian designers, developed in–house by the DesignByThem team and produced worldwide. The brand’s growing curated collection of furniture, accessories and lighting is characterised by its unique Australian perspective, timeless aesthetic and distinct playfulness. DesignByThem products can be seen in offices, universities, restaurants, hotels, libraries, airports and homes worldwide.

From Sydney to Copenhagen, DesignByThem celebrates 18 years of original Australian design, in an exhibition far from home. A showcase of forms, materiality and design languages, EXPANSE invites visitors to wander through a progression of new and core collections. Making a 3daysofdesign debut at Galleri Susanne Ottesen, DesignByThem will be exhibiting new and core works by a stellar cohort of independent Australian designers, accompanied by a dedicated art curation by Galleri Susanne Ottesen.

Seamless, sustainable and built to last. A material obsession that became a movement. It began with a single idea: a floor should do more than hold weight. It should hold meaning. Senso creates seamless surfaces that soften architecture, quiet spaces, and support the life lived inside them. Senso floors are poured, not installed and made from plants, not plastic. Sustainable since day one and have been for over 20 years. The plant-based bio resin is VOC-free, flexible, and strong enough to carry you through decades of movement. Senso did not ‘go green’ - they started there. Founded by David Bols, who spent years consumed over how spaces feel, not just how they look. Poured in the Netherlands. Installed worldwide. This is resin with soul.
