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

Strobilus represents a fascination with paper pulp as a material, a commitment to new technology and the realisation of a challenging, ‘green’ design brief.

About 

The initial brief from Paviom was to create a large scale decorative luminaire, specifically designed to make the most of high efficiency, compact fluorescent light sources, and provide 90% recyclability. Normally used in the packaging industry, the paper pulp process, provided the potential for creating soft, organic shapes. Developing ways to modify fire and moisture properties and add colour naturally, we were able to use the process for commercial lighting products without affecting recyclability.

Taking inspiration from the form of an open pine cone, my original designs developed and in the progress enclosed the lamps, thus providing a reflected, soft light combined with direct projected light which is glare free.

The result is Strobilus. A luminaire which is 95% recyclable and combined with the cost savings to run during its long life and the lower resource to manufacture, may make it one of the most sustainable mass produced products available.
