Issue 62

Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Eclipse by Kenneth Cobonpue

The Filipino designer has conceptualised a beautiful, civilized and high-tech version of the humble three-wheeler using the bicycle spokes as a design metaphor.

From the streets of Shanghai to New York, the rickshaw has proven to be a friendly and green alternative to the automobile and is the primary means of transport and livelihood for millions of people.

Made of aluminum and woven with recyclable polyethylene, a composition of circles forms a lightweight frame bound with a tight weave and covered on the top with insulated fabric. Seats, handlebars and headrest are made of hand stitched weatherproof vinyl. Appointed with unexpected luxuries such as an Ipod dock, speakers, cup holders, a cooling fan and fully closable panels on all sides, Cobonpue has taken a commonplace conveyance to a whole new level with the style and craftsmanship his brand is renowned for.
