Introduction
At Habitus, we believe your space should be a reflection of your values; thoughtful, intentional, and beautiful. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the new 2025 Collection from Gus Modern*, a brand that continues to redefine modern Canadian design with every release. This year, Gus* delivers a harmonious trio of form and function with the Nest Sofa , Branch Storage Units , and the Arlo Lounge Chair - each piece designed to bring comfort, clarity, and character into your everyday life.
Whether you're furnishing a new home, reimagining your living room, or simply looking to invest in timeless design, this collection offers the versatility and quality that modern living demands.
Nest Sofa: Modular Form, Deep Comfort
The Nest Sofa from Gus* Modern’s 2025 Collection is a study in sculptural minimalism and laid-back luxury. With its bold, architectural form and ultra-plush seating, the Nest makes an instant impression; yet it’s designed for real, relaxed living.
Generous in scale and modular by design, the Nest adapts beautifully to your space, whether you're entertaining guests or curling up solo. Each piece is crafted with FSC®-Certified wood and Gus*’s signature eco-friendly synthetic down, giving it a cloud-like comfort you can sink into—again and again.
Its structured silhouette is softened by tailored upholstery and integrated cushions, while subtle top-stitching adds a refined edge. The low profile and deep seats make it ideal for open spaces or cozy corners alike, inviting long lounging sessions without feeling bulky.
Key Features:
Modular components allow for flexible configurations
Wide armrests double as casual perches or table surfaces
Plush, deep seating with eco-friendly fill
Minimal seams and clean lines for a modern silhouette
FSC®-Certified wood frame construction
Whether you choose a neutral tone for calm continuity or a bold textile for contrast, the Nest Sofa brings a grounded presence to any room; modern, substantial, and supremely comfortable.
Branch Storage System: Scandinavian Simplicity, Built to Adapt
The Branch Storage System from Gus* Modern brings clarity and intention to your living or working space. With its minimalist frame, pale wood tones, and clean geometry, it’s a natural choice for anyone drawn to Scandinavian-inspired design.
This version features a two-door cabinet base, a glass-fronted display shelf, and an open upper shelf, offering the perfect balance of concealed storage and curated display. Its modular design allows for endless configurations, whether you’re building a home office, entryway catch-all, or refined media station.
Crafted with a powder-coated steel frame and smooth wood grain cabinetry, Branch is as sturdy as it is sleek. Hidden hardware keeps the focus on its clean lines, while thoughtful details - like the vertical slats and soft-close doors - showcase Gus*’s commitment to craftsmanship.
Key Features:
Modular design for customizable configurations
Powder-coated steel uprights provide strength and visual lightness
Cabinet base with doors for concealed storage
Glass-fronted upper shelf ideal for books, dishware, or display items
Scandinavian-inspired light wood tones for a bright, modern look
Wall-mounted with adjustable feet for added stability
Whether used in a living room, kitchen, hallway or studio, the Branch Storage System grows with you beautifully functional, quietly transformative.
Arlo Lounge Chair: Grounded Comfort with a Playful Edge
The Arlo Lounge Chair from Gus* Modern is a low-slung, sculptural seat that brings warmth and personality to any space. With its softly rounded form and tactile upholstery, Arlo feels like a cozy hug; but make it design-forward.
Resting on a solid ash sled base, Arlo’s silhouette is organic yet bold. The generously cushioned seat cradles the body with a welcoming dip, while the upright back offers gentle support, perfect for reading, relaxing, or lounging with intention. Its small footprint and unexpected proportions make it ideal for apartments, bedrooms, or that design-savvy corner in need of something special.
Key Features:
Bold, sculptural silhouette with a playful presence
Deep seat and upright backrest for comfort and support
Textural upholstery available in a range of contemporary finishes
Solid ash wood sled base adds contrast and warmth
FSC®-Certified wood frame with eco-conscious construction
Ideal for statement seating in compact or open spaces
The Arlo Lounge Chair is more than a seat, it’s an instant mood, a grounding moment in any modern interior.
