Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Why we love it: We’re not sure if it’s the name, but there’s something quite whimsical about this design. It’s as though it’s sprouting from the earth at the bottom of the garden.

Eames Walnut Stools

Designed by:
Nathan Yong for Living Divani

Why we love it: The flying-saucer-like cushioned seat of this stool defies gravity upon the 3 slender legs. Comes in a range of colours.

Why we love it: Aside from Trent Jansen being one of our favourite young designers, this stool is a heap of fun, and sustainable to boot! Made from recycled road signs each one is unique.
