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.

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.
