Butter Wins Good Design Award Gold | DesignByThem

The Butter Collection by Gibson Karlo is a Good Design Award Gold Winner! Created over 10 years ago, Butter is a testament to using sustainability and materiality as a source of innovation. Made from 100% recycled post-consumer flat sheets, Butter has become known for its sustainable production method as well as its playfulness, durability and functionality (indoors and outdoors), truly standing the test of time.


“Ahead of its time with its original production, the robust Butter Range is simply proof that sustainability can be design-driven and playfully edgy.”

— Good Design Awards Australia Jury


"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.
