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 Man Cave

Moody and dramatic, these pieces from designers local and across the globe allude to the cool comforts of retreating to a typified ‘man cave’… whisky in hand.


The Centquatre Sofa from DOMO

A strong and minimalist structure, with comfortable and generous cushions, the Centquatre sofa is casual in its design and appearance. The cushions are filled with a blend of newly washed and dusted duck down feathers for softness and synthetic fibres for resilience.

The Wing Lux Desk from Apato

The Wing Lux is a compact desk that can be flexibly placed at different angles. The orientation of the drawers can be easily changed by swivelling the rotatable tabletop. The attention to detail, evident inside the drawers, the accompanying wooden accessories tray and the triangular joints heightens the user experience.

The Coledale Rug from Designer Rugs

Coledale was created as a ‘post-script’ to the Sandscript Collection by Caroline Baum ­– a revisit of the inspirations of the original designs with an updated twist. Based on the eroded rock platforms of its namesake suburb, this textural and organic design maintains Baum’s signature coastal style mixed with all the opulence of a handknot rug.
