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.

Habitus loves… Desks

It’s time to get down to work. But not without the appropriate design hunter equipment of course! Why not study 8 of our favourite desks from the world of design.


 

Kink

 


Designed by: 

Earl Pinto

Why we love it: Out of the ordinary. The Kink desk is nothing if not quirky, like a desk spliced with a lamp. It is beautiful in American maple with built-in light fitting.

Where you can get it:

Joyn

Designed by: 

 Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra

Why we love it: This simple desk is like a very basic workbench, with beautiful metal legs (with different colour options) and lacquered timber surface. We love its no fuss appearance and quality.

Where you can get it:

Space Furniture

Writing Desk

title 

 

Designed by: Michael Young for Established & Sons

Why we love it: Colourful, playful yet elegant and perfectly formed – this desk by Michael Young is made to hide away in. A built-in light under the ‘roof’ will help you burn the creative midnight oil.

Where you can get it:

Living Edge

 

LORCA Desk

title 


Designed by: 


Abas Design Group

Why we love it: Lorca is a strong architectural statement – with its dynamic geometry comes a certainty. You could do serious business at this desk in serious style.

Where you can get it:

Utility Table

title 

 

Designed by: 

Owen & Vokes

Why we love it: This collaboration between Owen & Vokes and Small Australian Projects is a larger desk for those with a bit more room, but the detailing is perfect – such as the corner detailing where legs meet the tabletop. The 2 pieces can be combined as a large dining table or used separately as desk and table.

Where you can get it:

Small Australian Projects

Airia Desk

title 


Designed by: 

 Kaiju Studios

Why we love it: This desk is so many eras melded into one – and it works.  Modern elegance with a touch of old-world charm, the walnut surface works brilliantly with the cast-aluminium legs.

Where you can get it:

Living Edge

Yves writing desk

title 

 

Designed by: 

 Russell Pinch

Why we love it: Solid walnut and the ability to deliver “bespoke” colours for the leather desktop make this writing desk a favourite. It’s the sort of desk that makes you want to pack it all in and write that novel/those poems/the play you’ve always dreamt of.

Where you can get it:

Pinch Design (UK)

At At

Designed by:

 Tomoko Azumi

Why we love it: The clean lines and natural materials of the At At desk represent an honesty in design. The fold-down desk (just 45cm deep when closed) makes it perfect for smaller spaces.

Where you can get it:

Anibou
