Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

Full of Beans

In a move to up-cycle traditional methods of coffee-making for its design-savvy consumers, NESCAFÉ has engaged three Australian designers for The Azera Project – a competition showcasing how 150 plungers can be transformed into something new and amazing.


Coffee has evolved – NESCAFE AZERA is the next generation of coffee that combines premium instant coffee with finely ground-roasted beans. The result is a full-bodied taste and rich, intense aroma like no other. It’s time to find another use for your old plunger.

NESCAFÉ is giving three designers the opportunity to do just this. The designers – a mix of industrial, product and furniture makers – are adept in evolving materials and objects in surprising and inventive ways. NESCAFÉ is asking them to show us the ultimate reuse of a plunger.

But not just one plunger, a whole bunch of them; 150 to be precise. And some cash to help transform them into something else entirely through cutting-edge techniques and processes. In two weeks (no pressure).

This is a challenge – it’s head-to-head competition to find the most innovative and exciting evolution the plunger has ever seen, demonstrating the value of design to the every day consumer.
