The 'Future' Issue

Habitus #64 Welcome to the HABITUS ‘Future’ and ‘Habitus House of the Year’ Issue. We are thrilled to have interior designer of excellence, Brahman Perera, as Guest Editor and to celebrate his Sri Lankan heritage through an interview with Palinda Kannangara and his extraordinary Ek Onkar project – divine! Thinking about the future, we look at the technology shaping our approach to sustainability and the ways traditional materials are enjoying a new-found place in the spotlight. Profiles on Yvonne Todd, Amy Lawrance, and Kallie Blauhorn are rounded out with projects from Studio ZAWA, SJB, Spirit Level, STUDIOLIVE, Park + Associates and a Lake House made in just 40 days by the wonderful Wutopia Lab, plus the short list for the Habitus House of the Year!

St James Whitting And Designer Rugs Launch Elementals

Collaboration is said to lead us places we’d never arrive travelling solo, no one knows that better than Designer Rugs.

Kate St James, FDIA, and Catherine Whitting, AssDIA, have long, extensive – but heretofore separate – careers in the Australian design realm. The duo joined forces in recent years to create St James – Whitting, an interior design practise with a hard lined focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Designer Rugs have likewise endured the ups, downs, shifts and flips the ever-fluid design industry is known for.

No strangers to each other, or to the process or collaboration, the two entities have been hard at work putting together the Elementals rug collection produced and distributed through Designer Rugs.

On Thursday 19 October – at long last – the collection of five dynamic, colourful, and truly unique rugs was launched. You can see them in more detail here.
