Introducing Gus*

Elevate your space with sleek designs from the brand-new Gus Modern range at Terrace Floors + Furnishings.  

With its mid-century sensibilities, modern edge and commitment to functionality, Canadian brand Gus Modern was welcomed to the Terrace Floors + Furnishings family earlier this season. Celebrated worldwide for its unwavering sustainability principles, this range joins the esteemed showroom’s collection of global brands, including Ethnicraft, Armadillo and Ercol.

Gus Modern has more than 20 years of experience behind its innovative and timeless furniture designs. Below, we look at some of the star Gus pieces available at Terrace, what makes them stand out, and how sustainability is integral to the collection.

Gently Rounded

Two perfectly balanced pieces of solid FSC-certified Ash wood create this Scandi-inspired design. Set atop a sturdy curved metal frame, the Aero bar stool is lightweight and available in three colourways – Swan, Sage and Black. Playful and light, this stool brings an edge of fun to any kitchen space while doubling as a comfortable and convenient seat for cocktail hour.

What is FSC-certified? FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, an international not-for-profit organisation that encourages a responsible and sustainable use of the world’s forests. Showcasing the natural beauty of wood is something Gus prides itself on – and having an FSC certification is a fundamental part of that. Any piece with the FSC label is responsibly sourced, helping shoppers know they’re purchasing with the environment in mind.

Adaptable Seating 

Moveable components that can be altered to suit your family – or just your mood. The Gus Podium Modular Lounge is as aesthetic as it is adaptable, and a real game changer when it comes to the modern family. The Podium features six components that can be arranged in unlimited configurations.

Style-wise, the lounge takes cues from ’70s modernism design. Its attractive, plush seats are designed for a low and deep sit for ultimate comfort, crafted from ultra-soft, long-strand fibre fill material. At Gus, this revolutionary material is created through a process that diverts a whopping 1967 plastic bottles away from oceans, landfills and waterways for every 4-piece Podium lounge they build. Pretty impressive, right? The Podium Modular Lounge is in store at Terrace now in the Copenhagen Terra colourway shown here.

Accent Chair 

Complete your interior vision with the effortlessly cool Gus Kelso Chair. A clever mix of materials – from the tubular steel frame to the integrated wood dowel armrests – offers an industrial modern feel, while the knife-edge seat and back cushions in a soft, nubuck-like fabric create a tactility that blurs the line between comfort and style.

Gus Modern say the design goal for the Kelso Chair was to create “a visually striking accent chair that didn’t sacrifice comfort for style” – something achieved through its clever construction and warm, tactile materials. Available in Walnut and Natural Ash, the Kelso Chair is also integrated with non-marking leveller feet that protect floors, making this accent piece the perfect home addition, both aesthetically and practically. It is also FSC-certified.

Joinery Wins 

The angular bevelled base of the Gus Quarry Coffee Table is softened by the rounded corners of its tempered glass top – a pairing that successfully strikes a delicate balance between modern and mid-century. The table’s clever design really showcases the craftsmanship Gus is renowned for, with elegant joinery details taking centre stage. Available in rectangle, square and side table shapes, feature this on its own or nest with a few of its friends.

Gus describes these collections of tables as a “minimalist take on casual sophistication”. The grain of each solid walnut or natural ash base (which is FSC-certified) varies, making each table totally unique for each person, too.

A Fruitful Initiative

Replicate the look of real leather without the guilt. The iconic Gus Truss Chair is upholstered in Vegan AppleSkin™ Leather – a modern, eco-friendly leather alternative made from upcycled fruit fibre. Designed exclusively for Gus Modern and manufactured in Italy, the material was created to re-purpose the food remnants of the country’s apple orchard and juicing industries while also answering the global call for an alternative to natural leather.

The Truss Chair will bring a modern mid-century feel to your living space, and is yet another example of the Canadian furniture company’s commitment to sustainability. And just in case you were wondering, AppleSkin Leather retains the look and feel of natural leather and is equally durable and easy to clean, so there is no compromise to style or practicality. A win-win!

Decorating Hero

The Gus Arcade Bar Cart, with its curved metal frame and rounded plywood shelves, is art deco excellence and worthy of a spot in any living space. Use it to hold barware, flora or collectables. The Bar Cart is available in three colourways: Sage, Swan and Black – shades that’ll work inside any home. And all three are on display at Terrace right now.

The Arcade Bar Cart is a playful piece that’s easy to move between rooms, making it a true styling hero if refreshing your interior. Need some inspiration for how to style it? Pop past the Terrace showroom in Eastwood and speak with the talented team of interior experts.
