Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

Space Furniture’s Outdoor Collection

The collection features furniture from the world’s finest designers and brands, including Accademia, B&B Italia, Kartell and Serralunga.


The Accademia Vela armchair and sofa, designed by Studio Hannes Wettstein, update traditional steel-frame outdoor furniture with a sleek, minimal design and invitingly deep seats. They feature a frame made of steel tube either chromed or galvanized and white lacquered, and the seat and back are woven white or dark grey PVC rope.

Antonia Citterio’s Carpino is a characteristically contemporary table from the Italian master of design. At 250cm x 105 cm and with a top in Iroko wood and frame in painted aluminium its sleek looks and versatility hide its deceptively strong construction.

Patricia Urquiola’s Crinoline range for B&B Italia offers a range of soft and sinuous statement pieces including a range of high and low back armchairs and dining chairs.

The Masters Chair by Phillipe Starck for Kartell pays homage to three classics of contemporary design in one flexibly futuristic chair.

The Vas-one Family by Luisa Bocchietto for Serralunga is a range of practical and sculptural pots. Ranging from miniature to over scale versions Vas-one is playfully bold, functional and aesthetically pleasing in any environment.

A veritable icon made by Kartell, the Bubble Club industrial sofa and armchair, made entirely of mass-tinted polypropylene, has been the pioneer of a new concept in furniture accessories. Technology and research made it possible for Kartell to mass produce what was traditionally handmade. Bubble Club is comfortable and roomy, characterized by the soft line of its armrests, in contrast with the more rational lines of the backrest. This is a minimalist silhouette, reminiscent of the lines of “granny’s sofa”. The sofa and armchair are produced with the same finish and colours, making Bubble Club a complete family and nothing less than an “industrial living-room”. Thanks to their exceptional weather resistance, the Bubble Club family can survive perfectly outdoors and are ideal for furnishing gardens, pool sides and patios.

Designed by Piero Lissoni, Audrey is the latest release from Kartell to offer functional versatility with a contemporary aesthetic. Audrey demonstrates Kartell’s latest technological developments through its masterful combination of materials; aluminum and woven plastic.  Composed of only two structural parts, this wholly die cast chair, the first of its kind, is neatly finished without the use of screws or welding points further emphasizing its elegant and minimal silhouette. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, the Audrey chair is available with or without arms in a variety of exciting seat colours and complimentary frame finishes. The Audrey collection is tested and certified for both commercial and domestic use, offering a unique solution for all home, office, break out and hospitality applications.
