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.

Design Hunter™ Q&A with Khai Liew

In the March 28 issue of Habitus, Khai Liew tells us about his design favourites. Here we get a taste of what’s in the up coming issue.


The South Australian-based craftsman works mainly in timber. Here he appreciates elegant forms by fellow Australian designers in other classic materials.

“I have always loved Oliver’s work for what he takes away from his sculptural forms. You see and feel the form but you sense the negative space.”

Generation II Petal Spoons by Oliver Smith

“I admire how Marc has created this crockery to link in with his seating designs for the Qantas lounge to consolidate the brand identity. It is beauty and utility personified.”

Marc Newson Crockery Collection by Marc Newson for Noritake

“There’s a sense of timelessness and elegance of proportion that is inherent in so much of Charles’ work.”

Candelabra by Charles Wilson for MENU
