The Butter Range has turned 10 and to celebrate we're introducing a brand new colour — Clay. Created in 2011 as DBT's first furniture collection by founders Sarah Gibson and Nicholas Karlovasitis, Butter has become known for its playfulness, durability and longevity. Made from recycled plastic, the range has stood the test of time.
"The Butter range is close to our hearts, being our first-ever furniture piece, it has sustained and informed the direction of our work, using sustainability as a source of innovation and remaining true to a product's materiality. Ten years on, we’re pleased to see that it remains just as relevant and even more important today."
— Sarah Gibson & Nicholas Karlovasitis, designers.
Introducing, Clay
Butter welcomes Clay into its colourway, adding a natural warm hue into the recycled plastic mix. Robust in function and design, the collection offers a geometric and pared-back aesthetic that has remained unique and timeless.
