DesignByThem brings together and represents the talent of Australian designers in a playful collection of fun and functional furniture and homewares.
DesignByThem was launched in 2007 by co founders Nicholas Karlovasitis and Sarah Gibson with the mission of creating an independent Australian design brand and platform for local designers to showcase their work.
The collection includes designs by Nicholas and Sarah alongside the work of other great Australian designers and is designed with a sensitivity to time and the environment.
The range is available to national and international specifiers and retailers along with custom and commissioned projects through the DesignByThem studio.
From boutique design studio to comprehensive design platform—discover how we're making designer homes accessible to all.
We are passionate about beautiful homes and great design, but more than that we want to help to demystify the world of design and pull back the curtain on our much loved design studio to educate and inspire you. We firmly believe that good design and the smooth execution of projects should be accessible to everyone no matter the size, budget, location or timing of your project - and no matter where you’re at on your design journey. We have something to help you wherever you’re at and at every step of the way plus we are here to teach you everything we know to empower YOU to create a home you love!
Great design is more than aesthetics — it’s knowledge, insight, and inspiration brought to life. With over two decades of experience and hundreds of completed projects, The Designory has evolved from a boutique design studio into a comprehensive design and education platform, trusted by homeowners, design lovers, and industry professionals alike. Our purpose is to demystify design, share what we know, and make expert-led design accessible to everyone — regardless of budget, location, or where you are on your journey. Through education, resources, and real-world experience, we empower you with the confidence and clarity to create a home you truly love.
We are a talented and dedicated group of industrial designers who put our heart and soul into our work to produce outstanding and innovative results for our clients. We create products with which consumers can connect and, most importantly, want to buy again and again. We take time to understand your objectives and what consumers want, and combine this with outstanding creativity and a deep knowledge of manufacturing processes, to help get innovative ideas through the production minefield and onto the shelf. The result is fast, innovative, functional and cost effective designs for your brand that will positively impact the market.
