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.

Fida mat

 

Designed by: Patrick Frey for Vial

Why we love it: The Fida is a cushioned mat that with a simple latch can become a reclined seat. Made of waterproof polyester and weighing only 2.6kg, it is the perfect accessory to lie or lounge away the summer days on.

Element Portable

 

Designed by: Fuego

Why we love it: Press a button, snap the legs into the cooking position, lift the lid and click the ignitor. You now have an even, powerful grilling surface.

Handpresso Outdoor Set

 

Designed by: Handpresso

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

 

Designed by: Jakob Wagner for Menu

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.
