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

Just Adele

The Oro collection from Just Adele reframes natural stone as a protagonist in the narrative of contemporary design.


The Oro collection from Just Adele reframes natural stone as a protagonist in the narrative of contemporary design. This is about letting the material lead then craftmanship follows, polished into every curve and surface.

“My collections don’t subscribe to a particular era or trend,” says Adele Vine, founder of Just Adele. “The material speaks first. The marble’s patterns, its quirks, its natural tendencies – they shape the form, not the other way around. Oro is an invitation to pause, to observe and to revel in the unapologetic imperfection of stone.”

Founded in 2019, Just Adele is an extension of Vine’s Italian-Australian heritage and her reverence for material authenticity. The atelier bridges the artisanal legacies of Italy with a contemporary sensibility, designing objects that carry the weight of tradition but feel at home in the present. 

With its seventh collection, Just Adele steps into illumination. Two wall sconces form the lighting debut, each amalgamating modern silhouettes with tactile gravitas. An interplay of brass patina accents and warm, diffuse light softens the weight. Sustainable choices anchor the collection – fragments from larger stone cuts are repurposed, ensuring each sconce is bespoke and environmentally conscious.

Every piece in the Oro collection is hewn in Australia, where the atelier’s commitment to craftsmanship finds tangible expression. Each slab of marble is hand-picked, every cut deliberate. The bespoke, made-to-order approach is a response to material respect – nothing is wasted and everything is considered.

The material palette is vast and varied as the landscapes it emulates. The moody burgundy depths of Rosso Levanto meet the verdant sweeps of Cipollino, while Four Seasons surprises with its chromatic dance of yellows, greens and dusty apricot. For something more ethereal, White Onyx is an combination of amber, beige and pale green. Complementing these are metallic finishes in patinated brass, raw brass or a silvery sheen.
