Slowdown Studio

Dreamy Mid-Century Lake House in NZ designed by architect Simon Carnachan . Designed to be at one with the lake and mountain, it features a tropical indoor garden and wooden panelled walls inspired by the 70s bungalows of Berkeley, California. We love the way the Mythos Throw blanket brings in more of that beachy energy here with its deep-sea, navy and forest green. The lake house is available on Airbnb and bookings are limited to 60 nights per year.

NEW ✨ Meet the Otis Throw blanket designed by Argentinian artist Hernán Di Filippo for Slowdown Studio.

Hernán Di Filippo is a painter, illustrator, and muralist known for work that pulls from emotional memory, everyday rituals, and the colour and chaos of Argentine life.

This design was one of the winners of our 2025 Slowdown Art Comp and was inspired by his family dog, Ollie. Together with their cat Julio and his daughter Mora, Ollie is part of what Hernán calls a "multi-species family" - one full of small adventures and a lot of personality. The result is bold and joyful, four dogs rendered in Hernán's signature style with flat graphic shapes and rich, contrasting colour.
