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.

Toro Collection

By Blu Dot

Toro collection was a design journey. Sometimes ideas flow quickly from our sketchbooks to real life and other times they demand patience and endurance. Our goal was simple – to design a high-backed lounge chair with a small footprint, comfortable enough to sink into and watch Drag Race. But, man, did we make that hard on ourselves. Toro started with a metal tubular frame and a more constructed upholstered “bucket seat.” After numerous prototypes, we ditched the metal frame for timber because it was friendlier and warmer to the touch. We canned the upholstered seat for something much simpler, just a die-cut piece of thick belt leather – an expensive material for us at the time, but one that made its own structure through the simple act of using the chair. Sometimes it’s worth the wait.
