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 looking to Norway

Interacting Object

 

 

alt
Designed by: STIAN KORNTVED RUUD

Why we love it: The IO (interacting object) makes tangible the interaction between humans and computers in creative processes. The majority of digital instruments are manufactured in such way that they lose their tactile feeling. The IO is a wooden intermediary that improves the relationship between you and your computer.
