Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Braid Sofa

By Apato

The repetitive sticks of the back and the paper cord braided arms of the the Braid sofa are inspired by patterns found in classic bamboo constructions and tatami mats. The deep and low sofas are created for a lounge environment and the beautiful rear structure ensure that they are perfect even when placed in the middle of a space.The warm hues and natural nuances found in traditional Japanese architecture are mimicked in a well-balanced mix of wood, textile and paper cord in different tones and nuances. Manufactured in the furniture producing town of Morodomi, ARIAKE is a new, exciting Japanese brand that has brought together designers from different countries with a common respect for Japanese culture and woodworking. The expansive collection is available in a variety of options, and includes unique finishes such as sumi and indigo dye.
