From Wardrobe to Workspace: A Philosophy of Mindful Design

When Kate Bancks of @kgkstudio was tasked with designing the studio of personal stylist Sera Murphy @thereoutfitter, she knew the pieces had to embody Sera's core philosophy on fashion: sustainability. Sera sought Kate's expertise to help revamp her studio and complete her vision for an elevated, luxurious, and neutral space that reflected her style and values.
"I believe everyone can look and feel their best while also being conscious of our environmental impact."
- Sera Murphy, The Reoutfitter
We admire how Sera's approach to personal styling goes beyond mere aesthetics by intertwining style with meaningful values. This philosophy of staying true to our values should never come at the expense of style, regardless of the industry.


We asked Kate from KGK Studio what inspired her to recommend Living DNA to The Reoutfitter, and here’s what she shared:
"LivingDNA's love for craft and design shines through in their beautiful selection of luxury level handmade rugs. Along with their dedication to sustainability, those reasons make livingDNA an obvious recommendation for my clients."
"The Lithe Cream Recycled PET Rug from Living DNA was an easy choice. It's mix of textures and high level of craftsmanship made it the perfect neutral rug to give her space a real feeling of luxury."
"My advice on using rugs is to not underestimate them. The right rug can do so much for your space; it can elevate, add texture, warmth or colour, and a great one really rounds out the space you are designing."
- Kate, KGK Studio
Thank you, Kate and Sara for trusting us - it's always inspiring to connect with like-minded businesses who align with the same values.
The Lithe Cream is made of recycled PET and is one of our banner in-house products. Available in multiple sizes and 3 colours: Cream; Beige; and Gray.
