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.

Wool Modern Exhibition

Australia

A celebration of this most ancient of fibers, Wool Modern explores the aesthetic, environmental and technical virtues of wool in the 21st century.


With the rise of synthetic materials in the twentieth century humble sheep-hair has been somewhat ignored. The Wool Modern exhibition, a component of the global ‘Campaign for Wool’, makes a strong case for wool’s continued use, showcasing the versatility of the fiber via a collection of modern, original and ingenuous pieces custom-made by Australian and international designers and promoting it’s eco-friendliness.
