At About Space, we have always believed that lighting is more than just illumination—it’s an art form that transforms spaces and enhances everyday living. To further elevate interior design experiences, we are thrilled to announce that About Space is now the exclusive Australian stockist of Bubi+ Furniture. This partnership allows us to complement our dynamic lighting solutions with innovative, beautifully designed furniture pieces that embody the same ethos of creativity, functionality, and sophistication. 

Introducing Bubi+ and Cristian Gori 

Bubi+ is led by designer and architect Cristian Gori, a visionary figure in product design, creative direction, and interior architecture. With formal training in Architecture and Interior Design at the Istituto Statale d’Arte in Siena, Gori embarked on his career in 1996, joining the esteemed design studio Archirivolto. As both a creative and technical force, he played a pivotal role in shaping product developments and architectural concepts, working with globally renowned brands such as Police, Sting, MaxMara, and leading furniture companies. 

His work, celebrated for its balance between aesthetics and functionality, has garnered international recognition. Gori’s accolades include the Young & Design Award (1997), Best of Neocon (Chicago), the Red Dot Design Award, and the Archiproducts Design Award (2022). His commitment to innovation and his ability to create meaningful visual narratives have made him an influential figure in contemporary design. 

The Design Philosophy of Cristian Gori 

Cristian Gori redefines luxury as an inclusive experience—where elegance, innovation, and functionality come together seamlessly. His designs for Bubi+ embody key principles that align perfectly with About Space’s mission of delivering inspiring, transformative design solutions. 

Design as an Inclusive Experience 

Gori champions the democratisation of design, ensuring that beauty is not confined to exclusivity but is accessible and meaningful to all. His approach breaks down traditional barriers between high-end luxury and everyday living, creating versatile and functional furniture pieces that blend seamlessly into various lifestyles without compromising sophistication. 

Colour as a Narrative Element 

For Gori, colour is more than an aesthetic choice—it’s a storytelling tool. His thoughtfully curated palettes bring personality to objects, transforming them into communicative elements that enrich spaces and evoke deep emotional connections. 

Modularity and Adaptability 

Modularity is a core tenet of Gori’s design philosophy. Bubi+ pieces are designed with adaptability in mind, offering flexible and transformable solutions for both residential and contract settings. This focus on versatility ensures that each piece evolves alongside the changing needs of contemporary living, maintaining a perfect balance of form and function.
