In the heart of Auchenflower, Brisbane, Novus by Osborne & Co redefines the art of quiet luxury.
This refined residence pairs architectural precision with soulful restraint — every curve, tone, and texture chosen to evoke calm. 

At Indigo Love, we’re proud to see our pieces woven into this vision. Their sculptural forms and honest materials speak the same language as the architecture itself — one of timeless design, subtle strength, and considered beauty.


"For Novus, a project built in Auchenflower, Brisbane, our vision was to create a calm, tactile sanctuary. A home that feels refined yet effortless. Every element needed to breathe with the architecture, to feel intentional, layered, and timeless."

"We were drawn to Indigo Love’s pieces for their sculptural forms and organic textures and materials. They carry a sense of quiet strength, the kind of understated luxury that grounds a space without overpowering it. In this project, those details made all the difference; they brought warmth, authenticity, and a touch of the unexpected to our neutral palette.”

Rebecca Osborne, Design Director — Osborne & Co.

DESIGN NOTES

Soft, tonal neutrals, ecru, sand, and warm timber, were layered to let the architecture breathe. The absence of strong colour was intentional, creating calm through texture and depth rather than saturation.

Every item was measured to the room’s proportions, ensuring visual balance and air between pieces. The restraint in furnishing allowed the architecture and materials to speak, reinforcing a sense of quiet luxury.

We relied on material contrast rather than colour, soft linen against stone, matte finishes beside polished surfaces, to create depth, tactility, and an understated sense of refinement.

Each piece was selected for purpose as much as for beauty. Scale, circulation, and comfort informed placement, ensuring the space feels both liveable and elevated.

By curating fewer, better elements, pieces with honest materials and craftsmanship, Like Indigo Loves, we achieved warmth without visual noise. The space feels layered yet serene.

The overarching aim was to evoke stillness. Every surface, tone, and texture contributes to a sense of calm, a pause from the outside world.

Every design tells a story - of vision, materiality, and emotion.

Novus reminds us that restraint is not limitation, but clarity.

By curating with purpose and designing with intent, both Osborne & Co and Indigo Love continue to celebrate what’s real: craftsmanship, balance, and beauty that lasts.
