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… Small Stools

They can be just about the least pretentious thing in design, and a whole lot of fun (especially good for releasing the inner child) – introducing 8 small stools we love.


 

Unidentifiable Fat Objects

 

 
Designed by:
Studio juju

Why we love it: These stool are like little button mushrooms, with so much character they feel alive. Much love for their stumpy little legs and fat seats.

Where you can get it:

Elfin

 Designed by: Ross Didier

Why we love it: We’re not sure if it’s the name, but there’s something quite whimsical about this design. It’s as though it’s sprouting from the earth at the bottom of the garden.

Where you can get it:

Corporate Culture

Eames Walnut Stools

title 

 

 Designed by:Ray Eames

Why we love it: Like giant chess pieces, these stools are made from solid walnut and would be as much at home in the living room as in a child’s playroom.

Where you can get it:

Living Edge

Bolle

title 

 
Designed by:
Nathan Yong for Living Divani

Why we love it: The flying-saucer-like cushioned seat of this stool defies gravity upon the 3 slender legs. Comes in a range of colours.

Where you can get it:

Launch Stool

title 

 

 Designed by:Ben McCarthy

Why we love it: We love the space-like nature of this stool by Hong Kong-based designer, Ben McCarthy. He describes it as being like an animal getting ready to pounce or a ‘space module ready to launch’.

Where you can get it:

Workshopped

Sign Stool

title 


 Designed by:Trent Jansen

Why we love it: Aside from Trent Jansen being one of our favourite young designers, this stool is a heap of fun, and sustainable to boot! Made from recycled road signs each one is unique.

Where you can get it:

Ned

 Designed by:Darcy Clarke

Why we love it: This stool uses the a simple form of a cut round of timber as it’s mould, bringing light weight and versatility to an organic form. Colourful and fun.

Where you can get it:

Stone

 Designed by: Anon Pairot for FeelGood Designs

Why we love it: This stool by Thai Designer Anon Pairot was inspired by natural rock formations, but in timber, with a glossy finish it is anything but cold. We love its simplicity and refined form.
