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.

The Design Circus, Perth

Dancing bears and acrobats might be scarce, but an exceptional collection of product and representatives from leading Spanish brands and a stimulating calendar of events is making the Design Circus quite the spectacle.


The opening night of The Design Circus saw the Perth Architecture and Design community congregate at Venn Gallery, the main venue for the event and the site of its central exhibition.

A collaboration between Valencian event design firm CuldeSac and Perth retailer Mobilia, The Design Circus aims to celebrate Spanish design and includes pieces from Vondom, Kettal, Marset, Apparatu, Nanimarquina and Yonoh. Special guests from each of these companies have been in attendance to share their thoughts with the audience in a series of workshops held at the Mobilia showroom over the course of the event.

The Design Circus is the brainchild of CuldeSac’s creative director Pepe Garcia, and was first presented in Madrid with the concept of creating an exhibition that was more than the sum of its parts.

“Sometimes what happens is that you have an object or a collection of pieces that are exhibited, but there is no uniting concept behind it, so at the end of the day all people are looking at is just product”, Garcia comments. “We wanted to make a concept that was bigger than the object, so we came up with The Design Circus and for us the circus was a fantastic concept to bring all these things together and to sell a concept.”
