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.

Unravelling the hidden gems of Nordic design history

Over the decades, Stylecraft’s collection of local and international designer brands has evolved into one of the most esteemed collections on Australian shores.


Today, Stylecraft welcomes revered Norwegian brand, Eikund to the family. Based in Helvik, Norway, the new brand, Eikund adds a refreshed perspective to iconic Norwegian furniture designs. Named after the island of Eigerøya on the western coast of Norway, Eikund is paving the way for a Norwegian design revival. 

Over a one-year period, the Eikund team embarked on a real-life treasure hunt to unravel the hidden gems from the past decade of Nordic design history. The process of locating original drawings, specifications and information involved crawling into attics, sifting through private and public archives and contacting historians and design experts that could highlight the geniality in the country’s long-lost design history. 

Now, Eikund rewrites their chapter of Nordic furniture designs with the launches of iconic chairs, lounges and tables that have been hidden for too long. With an exciting portfolio of works from Torbjørn Bekken, Fredrik A. Kayser, Sigurd Resell and more, Eikund is ready to impress. 

Product-led and editorially curated, the Habitus Edit offers a unique perspective on the exceptional designers and brands across the Into-Pacific region. Dive in and explore the Habitus Edit on Eikund: The Revival of Nordic Modernism from Stylecraft.
