Cabin Modular Lounge Collection by DesignByThem.

Cabin is the latest release by DesignByThem founders Sarah Gibson and Nicholas Karlovasitis, also known as GibsonKarlo. The new collection of armchairs, lounges, ottomans and booth style structures utilise a series of upholstered log modules, exploring geometric forms to create playful and personable pieces for the office or home.

“The inspiration for the design came from the simple intersecting patterns found in log cabin construction. We wanted to reference this and apply the cylindrical geometries to create a playful range that was welcoming, flexible, distinctive and had a sense of character,” says Nicholas Karlovasitis.

“It all began with a series of cylinders. We then deconstructed the cabin arrangement into a lounge and armchair, experimenting with various diameters until we found a size that was comfortable for both the back and armrests,” shares Sarah Gibson.

The Cabin Booth is available in different heights, lengths and layouts, providing a comforting acoustic barrier in open plan spaces. The armchair and lounges are equipped with an adjustable lumbar log that can be moved back and forth to suit the user’s preference or completely removed for a floating backrest. Interchangeable armrest dividers also provide further flexibility on longer lounges, ideal for foyer and waiting room environments where divisional seating is preferred.
