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… Milan SDM 2012

With so much good design in Milan this week it’s hard to do it all justice. Habliving gives you a peek of eight of our favourites.


Solo Chair

 

Designed by: Studio Nitzan Cohen for Mattiazzi

Why we love it: Simple, robust and cost-effective, the Solo Chair offers flexible elegance, and stacks beautifully.

Deskbox

 

Designed by: Raw Edges for Arco

Why we love it: Ideal for situations with limited space, the Deskbox slides open to become a convenient work space. Retracting to half this area, it is the latest evolution in Arco’s drive for innovation and ingenuity in desk design.

Marina picnic table

 

Designed by: Bruno Fattorini & Partners for Extremis

Why we love it: Made of lightweight, durable pultrusion glass fiber profiles, the Marina picnic table can be made to seat up to 40 people and will weather the elements better than any wood.

Superbowl

  

Designed by: Staffan Holm

Why we love it: Inspired by renaissance still life paintings Superbowl is a fruitbowl designed to look good empty or full. It’s graceful, fluid geometry adds dynamism to it’s context.

Rocky

  

Designed by: Marc Newson for Magis

Why we love it: Good design for children is sadly hard to come by, so it’s great to see this simple, cost-effective rocking horse featuring at Milan this year. With a gentle rocking motion and classic equine inspiration, childhood nostalgia is unavoidable.

38 Series

  

Designed by: Omer Arbel for Bocci

Why we love it: Combining mouth-blown glass, a planter and copper finish, the 38 Series is unexpected but reassuring.
