Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

Habitus Loves… Condiments

As much as the dish served should be up to scratch, the tailoring and diner-participation provided by last-minute additions are often the winning flourish of a meal. Present your culinary accoutrements in style with these eight items of condimenting equipment.


Oil/Vinegar Cruet

 

Designed by: Group SA

Why we love it: Hand blown in Spain from borosilicate glass and featuring an ingenious integrated funnel for refilling and a system to catch any drips that spill down the side of the spout, this oil/vinegar cruet is both convenient and elegant.  

Where you can get it: Oil+

Parmesan Planer

 

Designed by: Microplane

Why we love it: Allegedly the result of a carpenter’s epiphany regarding the use of a wood-planer for grating fromage, this sturdy implement shaves hard cheeses into curled ribbons, creating beautifully fluffy clouds to garnish pastas, risottos and salads.

Salt & Pepper Grinders

 

Designed by: Alfredo Häberli for Georg Jensen

Why we love it: Incorporating the AllGrind – Ceramic Technology grinders for long-lasting quality, these salt and pepper grinders combine a fluid, ergonomic form with everyday functionality.
