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.

Planet – Bespoke Method

Beautiful and unique are qualities that will never go out of
fashion
 


Bespoke: made to individual order; custom made.

With the proliferation of mass-manufactured products
available on the market, custom and bespoke furniture adds another element of
personality. These pieces demand personal attention – from their inception and
creation, through to the part they play in the home environment.

Thoughtful design, sensitive materials and deceptively
simple lines are the hallmarks of the creations from Planet in Sydney’s Surry
Hills. Combining fine furniture, collectable artwork and homewares, Planet
offers a full design service for those that who are inspired by the unique.

Designer, Ross Longmuir, has a passion for moulding
sustainably grown solid Australian hardwoods with the tradition of highly
skilled timber craftsmanship. The natural material is revered for its density
and finish, which allows the furniture pieces to grow with their environment,
developing a rich depth of patina as it ages.

Production is kept local so that standard items can be
customised, with varying finishes and dimensions. All furniture is built to
order in Sydney, by talented makers who strive for quality in expressing the
original designs.

Planet also offers a textile collection created with a
variety of methods including printing, dyeing, stitching, shibori, knitting and
weaving; and a homewares featuring natural fibres and sculptural elements.

Explore the Planet showroom in Surry Hills to see a diverse
range of works from over 70 makers.
