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.

Electric pizza maker

 

Designed by: Rotex

Why we love it: For those of us who don’t have a pizza oven/igloo in the backyard the Rotex pizza maker offers a more modest but highly functional substitute. Made with the same refracting bricks of professional ovens, this bench-top appliance is bright, convenient and full of deliciously crusty promise.

Vision Toaster

  

Designed by: Magimix 

Why we love it: No longer shall toast be either soggy or charcoal! The Vision toaster’s panoramic toast-watching windows not only provide a meditative early morning spectacle, they let you get that perfect golden crunch.

X-13 Meat Slicer

 

Designed by: Berkel

Why we love it: Whilst you might have to eat unhealthy quantities of sliced meat to justify this appliance, it is guaranteed to turn your legs of prosciutto into translucent, pink slivers of salty goodness. With a one piece engineered polymer base to reduce seams and joints and a variable pitch barrel cam for fine adjustment this slicer gets our pick for aesthetic and design.

Spaghetti measure

  

Designed by: Joseph Joseph

Why we love it: ‘A handful’ is not a useful unit of measurement. Thankfully with the spaghetti measure you can easily control pasta portions. And impress your friends.

Where you can get it: Chalet

Mixer/mincer

 

Designed by: Kitchenaid

Why we love it: Beneath it’s vintage exterior this appliance packs some serious mixing power. The Flex Edge Beater assures rapid incorporation and the planetary mixing action, hitting 67 points around the bowl, assures no corner is overlooked. And you can use it to make mince, for sausages, fish cakes and other delectables.

Where you can get it: Myer

Why we love it: A convenient, economical and environmentally friendly substitute to bottled sparkling water, the Penguin combines elegant curves with modern finishes in a fusion of form and function.
