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.

Lighting it up with the Aura collection

The new Aura pendant and Aura desk lamp are fresh new additions to the line up of Ross Gardam’s distinctive furniture and lighting portfolio.

 

Introduced at Sydney Indesign 2015, the Aura Pendant sits between the timeless and the modern. Featuring a floating disk surrounded by a gentle glow, the pendant is ready to suit a range of spaces. Available in two sizes and in various finishes, Aura is a versatile pendant fixture designed to complement both the residential and the commercial.

“The Aura pendant brings a large format lighting solution to our range and with its unique illumination and colour range the pendant will work well in a variety of spaces,” says designer Ross Gardam.

At its inaugural event at NGV, 1-OK CLUB featured the launch of the limited edition Aura desk lamp. The Aura desk lamp is the result of a desire for purity and honesty in both materials and manufacturing. Completely precision-milled from aluminium and gold anodised, the Aura desk lamp features an adjustable shade thanks to a clever magnetic joint. This allows the user to interact with a shade that can fully orbit in 360° and tilt-adjust in numerous positions.

“I actually made the first two masters with my father who recently retired, it was a great opportunity to work on a project together, it had been 20 years between projects,” explains Ross. “It took six days to create each unit, using a metal lathe and milling each component from Aluminium Bullion.”
