Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

Paratekton by Simeon Nelson

Simeon Nelson engages his audience with a unique sculptural concept, Systems of Romance II, Paratekton Series.




Are you a designer? The correct answer is ‘yes’, when it comes to Simeon Nelson’s interactive sculptural installation, Systems of Romance II, Paratekton Series. 
 
Simeon began his career as an artist in Australia during the 1990s and moved to the UK after finding international success as a contemporary sculptor.

Through his artistic practice, Simeon explores the way in which humans interface with systems of nature, science and technology, and is inspired by the nuances of objects such as tree branches, street directories and the human vascular system.

These concepts are projected through the Paratekton series, as its very purpose is to be designed by its viewer. 
Paratekton sits on the border between the art and design world. It is a series of curved, furniture-grade plywood planks and metal hardware that can be deconstructed and reconstructed in any way that the observer chooses.

 

 

 

 

The uniqueness of this design-artwork stems from the idea that both its structure and concept is analogous.

 

Paratekton was exhibited at the Ryan Renshaw Gallery, Brisbane and the Melbourne Art Fair in August and September 2010.

You can buy Paratekton through Ryan Renshaw gallery by visiting them in Fortitude Valley or contacting them here.
