Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

A Fusion of Architecture and Nature

Gessi aims to fulfil the desire to blend nature with architecture in people’s private habitats, envisioning the bathroom not only as a place for regeneration and well-being but also as a truly natural shelter.


In order to achieve a design that could shape the fusion between architecture and landscape, Gessi conducted research in South Eastern Asia, where ancient culture and nature enters gracefully into the house and the living space expands in uninterrupted continuity towards the outside.

In this area, craftsmanship and design produce a remarkable distillation of traditional shapes and natural materials into extraordinarily fine contemporary furnishings.

During a journey among the lush scenery and the dwellings in South Eastern Asia, designer and sculptor Prospero Rasulo captured the sun filtering light cones across vegetation. The architectural form describes his ideal fusion of architecture and nature – The Cone – became the new “sign” of Gessi.
