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.

Fida mat

 

Designed by: Patrick Frey for Vial

Handpresso Outdoor Set

Why we love it: Containing a small, portable and manual espresso machine called Handpresso as well as four unbreakable cups, a single-hand thermos-insulated flask (to keep hot water even longer) an a small napkin, the outdoor set delivers machine quality espresso wherever you are, and allows you to revel in the envy of your fellow park-goers.

Cool Bag

Why we love it: Two innovative buckles mean Cool Bag can be used both as a standard bag with a short handle or as a shoulder bag with a longer strap. The insulating inner bag is easy to remove, allowing the outer bag to be used as a spacious shopping bag – under the arm or over the shoulder.

Akiko Petanque Set

 

Designed by: J. Herbin

Why we love it: Any picnic worth its salt should include some form of outdoor activity, and Petanque is a particularly apt example. This set, designed by Hans Sandegren Jacobsen & Akiko, features an integrated teak handle for easy carrying and attractive teak finish.
