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.

Cardboard for Furniture

Capas (‘layers’ in Spanish) is the cardboard furniture range designed by Peruvian Architect Luis Gomez Siu.

CAPAS furniture was created when designer Luis Gomez Siu decided to replicate a chair previously designed by him and that was originally made with a traditional timber frame, a timber veneered finish and fabric cushions.

The CAPAS chair was the first piece designed for the CAPAS range, and the result: a new take on its former design, rebuilt with 7mm double corrugated cardboard sheets put together vertically to maximize its strength. With its tanned leather lumbar cushion, and its signature surrounding leather belt, the chair holds the cardboard layers together with perfect harmony

The CAPAS range includes the CAPAS stool and the CAPAS table, which are also made out of layered cardboard sheets with leather and felt elements, light in weight, and surprisingly more durable than one would imagine.

CAPAS is the perfect blend of sharp lines and soft accessories. All pieces are put together individually by hand and come with their distinctive surrounding leather belt.

These unique pieces are rich in texture and a must have if you are a fan of paper and cardboard. They can also be made to order to suit specific size and colour requirements.
