VIP Preview | The Form That Follows | Dion Lee x DesignByThem

Design Tasmania is delighted to present an exhibition of DL, a new furniture collaboration between DesignByThem founders Sarah Gibson and Nicholas Karlovasitis and Australian fashion designer Dion Lee. Alongside this capsule collection, Curator and Executive Director Claire Beale has incorporated a selection of works by the designers as individuals to reveal the dynamic processes of practice that have come to inform this collaboration.

Three years in the making, the project began as a casual conversation during a trip to Milan. The DL Lounge Chair and DL Bench were launched at Milan Design Week 2019 at DesignByThem’s solo show in the Isola Design District, celebrating 12 years of producing Australian Design. The DL Collection is the first interdisciplinary collaboration for DesignByThem, merging fashion and industrial design principles. The DL Lounge Chair and Bench couple the iconic sculptural tailoring recognised in Dion Lee garments with the timeless structural details of GibsonKarlo designs.
