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… Condiments

As much as the dish served should be up to scratch, the tailoring and diner-participation provided by last-minute additions are often the winning flourish of a meal. Present your culinary accoutrements in style with these eight items of condimenting equipment.


Oil/Vinegar Cruet

 

Designed by: Group SA

Why we love it: Hand blown in Spain from borosilicate glass and featuring an ingenious integrated funnel for refilling and a system to catch any drips that spill down the side of the spout, this oil/vinegar cruet is both convenient and elegant.  

Where you can get it: Oil+

Parmesan Planer

 

Designed by: Microplane

Why we love it: Allegedly the result of a carpenter’s epiphany regarding the use of a wood-planer for grating fromage, this sturdy implement shaves hard cheeses into curled ribbons, creating beautifully fluffy clouds to garnish pastas, risottos and salads.
