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… Rocking Chairs

It turns out rocking chairs aren’t just for grandpa, with our top 8 picks of beautiful chairs that rock!


 

The Eames Rocker

title

 

 

 


Designed by:
Charles and Ray Eames

Why we love it: The moulded plastic seat of this chair makes it a design icon, but as a rocker it is design heaven in motion – 2 please!

Where you can get it:

Living Edge in Australia

Soft Rocker

title

 

 

 

Designed by: Established & Sons

Why we love it: This “boxy” design was launched in Milan. The fully upholstered chair is described by those quirky kids at Established & Sons as supporting a “state of ‘relaxed alertness’”

Where you can get it:

Established & Sons

InOut

Designed by: Gervasoni

Why we love it: All in white, this lacquered aluminium would work inside or out with its glossy PVC weave.

Where you can get it:

Anibou

Body Raft

 

 
Designed by: David Trubridge

Why we love it: Like much of David Trubridge’s pieces, this seat is a celebration of timber and relaxation. We love its organic form and the way it invites you to recline and unwind.

Where you can get it:

Cappellini and Corporate Culture

Jellyfish

title

 

 

 


Designed by:
Wiel Arets

Why we love it: On first inspection, this rotation moulded chair doesn’t look like a rocker, but with a slight curve on the base it has a very subtle, but enjoyable movement.

Where you can get it:

Quinze & Milan and Corporate Culture

Spun

 

Designed by: Thomas Heatherwick

Why we love it: Well, it’s not your standard back-and-forth rocket, but this spinning chair makes us feel like The Borrowers, sitting on a child’s spinning top.

Where you can get it:

Corporate Culture

Sway

title

 


 

Designed by: Markus Krauss

Why we love it: This rocker can be used in a number of ways, as a chair, a rocker for 1 or even as a rocker for 2 (so sweet). We love its versatility.

Where you can get it:

Markus Krauss

Idle Rocking Chair

title

 

 

 

Designed by: Jarrod Lim

Why we love it: This beautiful union of timber and upholstery in a simple form. We love all of Lim’s work and we’re excited to hear that Innermost will be releasing more of his pieces this year.

Where you can get it:

Innermost
