The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

What does the term ‘Design Hunter’ mean to you?

For me a .. Design Hunter is a person with a sophisticated eye for detail and difference. Scouring the world for objects, carefully curated with a unique design sensibility. Objects, that are not easily recreated that have taken time for the artisan to perfect. Where the balance and proportion are in harmony. Understanding the layering of items from different cultures, mediums and styles to bring interest and the unexpected to the room or space.
