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.

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: Earl Pinto
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
		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
		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: KE-ZU
Utility Table
		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
		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
		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
