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!

Design Hunter™ Q&A with Khai Liew

In the March 28 issue of Habitus, Khai Liew tells us about his design favourites. Here we get a taste of what’s in the up coming issue.

The South Australian-based craftsman works mainly in timber. Here he appreciates elegant forms by fellow Australian designers in other classic materials.

“I have always loved Oliver’s work for what he takes away from his sculptural forms. You see and feel the form but you sense the negative space.”

Generation II Petal Spoons by Oliver Smith

“I admire how Marc has created this crockery to link in with his seating designs for the Qantas lounge to consolidate the brand identity. It is beauty and utility personified.”

Marc Newson Crockery Collection by Marc Newson for Noritake

“There’s a sense of timelessness and elegance of proportion that is inherent in so much of Charles’ work.”

Candelabra by Charles Wilson for MENU
