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.

Speed Light

Street signs can sometimes be quite annoying, but artist and designer Brett Coelho has shed new light on them.

Designed by: Brett Coelho

 

I am: Pendant lights

 

About me:

Now don’t you go thinking you can take down that pesky stop sign out the front and turn it into a feature for your apartment, the signs used to make these new pendants have been obtained legally, before being water-jet-cut and hand-folded by Brett Coelho.

 

The lights make a real statement, using the colours and graphics of street signage to add individual character and dynamism to the shades. They’re enamel-sprayed with a range of colours on the inside and sealed with polyurethane, protecting the surface of the original signs.

The sizes vary with each item, as it depends on the sizes of the original signs. As much of the sign as possible is used for each light, minimising waste.

 

Materials:

  • Street signs
  • Polyurethane
  • Enamel

Dimensions:

Speed Light Small (30D.approx) – $250
Large (60D.approx) – $750

 

The Speed Light is available from Tongue and Groove.
