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.

Then x Ten by Herman Miller

Fortyfivedownstairs hosts an exhibition of past and present posters from the iconic furniture brand.


Combining a retrospective of the brand’s most classic posters with modern interpretations by ten of the world’s leading image-makers the collection, curated by Herman Miller’s creative director Steve Frykholm, celebrates Herman Miller’s rich and varied history. And in a time when digital advertising mediums are changing how companies represent themselves a glance backwards to the golden age of print reminds us of the sheer talent and creativity of the artists behind it.

As part of the event Herman Miller are also offering the opportunity to have your poster hang with the greats! Simply submit a contemporary version of a Herman Miller poster featuring the iconic SAYL chair for your chance to win! For more details visit the competition page.

The exhibition will be displayed at Melbourne art gallery fortyfivedownstairs from 14 to 25 August and will tour throughout the Asia Pacific in 2012–2013.
