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… A New Slant on Things

Koo Koo Letterbox

Created by: Justin Hutchinson for Playso

Why we love it: Make the postman smile with this funky letterbox design from Playso. Designed and manufactured in Australia, ‘Koo Koo’ is one stylised bird-shaped letterbox that does not take itself too seriously, yet still has some serious curb appeal. We all still need a letterbox, so why not choose one that has bundles of personality.

Why we love it: Bringing fragments of the urban landscape into our interior environment, these lights showcase both the graphics and the materials of the ubiquitous road sign. Transforming the everyday into something extremely unique, the ‘Speed Light’ is a celebration of the ordinary. And well, who doesn’t love recycled road signs these days?

MINI Paceman

Why we love it: It’s a man, but it’s not a Countryman. It’s a Sport Activity Coupe, but it’s not a Coupe. But it is the all new Paceman. The latest release from MINI puts a new slant on things, and a new slant on style. With a daring and freethinking design, the Paceman offers a fresh take on the classic MINI, proving there is more to this car than first meets the eye.

Created by: Established & Sons

Why we love it: The gently obtuse angles to be found in this collection of storage jars are inspired by the forms of space capsules. And this unlikely homage to all things space age is continued in a palette of subtle metallic glazes.

Mondaine Classic Watch

Created by: Mondaine

Why we love it: A classic of timepiece design in which form and content combine to create a timeless and elegant whole, Mondaine is a company steeped in perfection. And their watches are certainly no different. Their distinctive timepieces for the wall, the pocket, the nightstand or desktop are useful and attractive items of lasting value, and represent a dedicated level of unique craftsmanship.

Now, working with fellow Danes, Norse Projects, they have collaborated to create a range of fashion orientated rain coats that will keep you looking stylish in any weather.
