The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

Habitus Loves… Dining Chairs

The chair has to have the most design variations of any object and even in the dining chair category there’s a lot. So we thought we’d sit down for a meal with 8 of our favourites, from the elegant, to the playful, to the seriously cool.

Torsio
		Designed by: Hanspeter Steiger for Röthlisberger Kollektion Why we love it: This chair is made from just two pieces of moulded ply. A simple elegant form that would work just about anywhere. Where you can get it: Anibou
CH24 (Wishbone)
		Designed by: Hans J. Wegner for Carl Hansen + Son Why we love it: This is a classic design, so comfortable to sit in made the way it always was with hardwood and hand-woven paper cord. A visual and physical pleasure. Where you can get it: Corporate Culture
Slick Slick Chair
		Designed by: Philippe Starck Why we love it: It’s light, strong and oh-so Starck! The playful colours and ‘wavey’ form takes something that can be quite serious and makes it fun. Where you can get it: Classique
Boum
		Designed by: Monica Graffeo and Ruggero Magrini Why we love it: This chair is so young and very, very cute. The ‘button’ on the back looks like a smartie and the simple legs and bubble-like form screams playtime. Where you can get it: Fanuli
BORGES S
		Designed by: Studio Tecnico Why we love it: This dining chair is very sure of itself. Its square form is softened by the slight angle of the backrest. This is definitely a grown-up chair and comes with leather seat and backrest. Where you can get it: fy2k
Tiller
		Designed by: Ross Didier Why we love it: This is new Australian design at its best. This upholstered dining chair features a solid oak frame with comfy rounded seat and backrest in one form. Where you can get it: Interstudio
Barri
		Designed by: N Garnham/ R Carlson Why we love it: Simplicity. The Barri represents everything we love about Jardan’s furniture. It’s raw, simple, yet full of character – the rounded backrest with tapered supports and sculpted seat make it a comfortable choice as well. Where you can get it: Jardan
Otto
		Designed by: Thonet Why we love it: Now this one is a bit left field. Like a lot of Thonet’s chairs, this one was made for cafés and restaurants, but would be at home in any 1950s or 60s interior. For those of who don’t have ultra-modern or love the world of the 50s, the Otto will satisfy your craving. Where you can get it: Thonet
