The 'Future' Issue

Habitus #64 Welcome to the HABITUS ‘Future’ and ‘Habitus House of the Year’ Issue. We are thrilled to have interior designer of excellence, Brahman Perera, as Guest Editor and to celebrate his Sri Lankan heritage through an interview with Palinda Kannangara and his extraordinary Ek Onkar project – divine!

The Committee Toy Car

This toy car seems quite innocent, with its oversized handle for pushing
around the floor and its traditional craftsmanship – using timber and
steel – but when you look closer it reveals something much more
sinister.


The Committee toy car, designed by Brad Denboer for the Auditorium Toy Co., shows a birds-eye-view of suited people with one slumped forward, hands behind his back. In the ‘boot’ there are a number of items, including a rope, shovel, tape recorder and wrench.

 

 

 

We’ll leave the rest up to your imagination. We’re unclear if this toy is meant for kids, or big kids, but either way it is a beautifully crafted design that is definitely worthy of a mention.

 

 

It’s got a limited edition of just 25, with each individually numbered with a small metal plate – so it’s unlikely there are many left – but you can track down Denboer here and we’re sure he’ll be able to suggest something else that’s in the pipeline.

However, you can definitely purchase one of the Auditorium Toy Co.’s other items, the Boattail Racer, made using high-quality wheels and polished ply, all beautifully boxed. Click here to place your order.
