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.

Melanie Katsalidis’ Store Launch

Inimitable local jeweller Melanie Katsalidis rings out 2017 with a new virtual home for her heart-stopping finery.

Multifaceted and brilliant, the founder of Pieces of Eight Gallery, Melanie Katsalidis, is something of a gem herself.

While the talented Melbourne-based jeweller has spent over a decade developing her own covetable works, this week marked the launch of Melanie’s first ever online store.

Creatives, peers, jewellery fanatics and longstanding supporters gathered at Saint Louie salon, adjacent to Pieces of Eight, to celebrate previous collections and catch an exclusive glimpse of new pieces.

A towering installation of gorgeous blooms by florist Cecilia Fox crowned the artfully curated space, with guests mingling around the understated gleam of precious metals, pearls and rare gemstones at the centre.

Drawing excited gasps and longing sighs, visitors were encouraged to try on the exquisitely crafted jewellery. Melanie Katsalidis is sure to appear on many a Christmas wishlist…
