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.

Kettal at 2013 Salone del Mobile

The Spanish design firm presented both a light and beautiful stand designed by Patricia Urquiola and an elegantly pared back new collection by Jasper Morrison at the Milan design fair.

Bright, breezy, and playful, this year’s stand by Kettal was perfectly evocative of the blend of fun and elegance the brand is renowned for.

Incorporating new and past collections, the stand was delicately divided by semi-transparent surfaces of coloured steel mesh, allowing each collection to be viewed individually without overly compartmentalising the space.

The star of the new releases from the Iberian outdoor furniture brad was the Village chair by Jasper Morrison: a chair for all outdoor situations, from village house to grand café. The lightweight aluminium structure allows easy handling while the neutral language of its form takes nothing away from the scenery. This chair pays respect to the long standing codes of metal stacking outdoor chairs while gently refreshing the look.

Kettal is available in Australia from Dedece in Sydney and Melbourne and Mobilia in Perth.
