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.

Can.go

 

Created by: Mobica

Why we love it: The Can.go is a unique take on mobile storage solutions. In an age where work is no longer only done in the office, Can.go can be used as a bag to hold laptops, tablets, mobile phones, documents, and other items on the go, and conveniently docks onto any desk system to turn into a drawer.

LAYER

 

Created by: Läufer + Keichel for OFFECCT

Why we love it: This easy chair is characterized by three layers, which can be varied in terms of textile and color in order to create a unique design. The first layer can be compared to a stool, the second layer to a chair and the third layer creates the final form; an easy chair.

#006 SideSeat

 

Created by: Studio Makkink & Bey for Prooff

Why we love it: Prooff is a self-contained desk, cupboard and chair which moves with you. A balanced piece of furniture made using high quality materials. A compact workstation featuring functional elements which sit separately but together create a flexible space where one can work, wait, read, call or train. A welcoming gesture to your visitor.

Seating Stones

 

Created by:  Ben van Berkel for Walter Knoll

Why we love it: Inspired by nature, Seating Stones are bringing natural fundamentals back into the home. Cheerful, free and variable – the new seating landscapes fulfil our longing for naturalness and original forms of seating. Users intuitively follow the possibilities on offer: sitting or lounging about, relaxing or concentrating, on your own or in company.

Stationery

 

Designed by: Stefan Diez for Wilkhahn

Why we love it: With a seat and backrest frame deep drawn from thin sheet metal in one piece welded to the legs, the Chassis’s mode of production resembles that of a sports car. This gives it elastic comfort, durability along with precision and fluidity.
