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.

About me:
Victoria + Albert’s Napoli bath (pictured above) blends contemporary and natural elements into a seamless statement of understated luxury. Its lines are clean and minimalistic – a perfect example of the “less is more” approach to design which has just been recognised by the Museum of Architecture and Design at Prestigious Chicago Athenaeum, presenting it with a Good Design Award. There is also an undeniable element of warmth and nature in the Napoli, with its egg-inspired silhouette and an inherent sense of organic beauty. The Napoli is well complemented by the Napoli 57 Basin (pictured below) vessel basin.

Materials:
The Napoli is also made with Quarrycast®, a material exclusive to Victoria + Albert, that is made by mixing natural volcanic limestone with high performance resin. Quarrycast® is a stone-rich alternative to both cast iron and acrylic.
