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.

Top Picks From Style Bangkok Fair 2019

Set to become Asia’s largest fair, integration of cultures and innovation of materials were key aspects at this year’s Style Bangkok Fair.


With over 52,000 visitors from over 69 countries, the Style Bangkok Fair last year was overwhelming with success. Having taken place between the 17 and 21 of April 2019 at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), the five-day trade show provides an international platform for buyers to source and be inspired by the state-of-the-art creations from local talents and world-class creators. Now a part of the Thailand International Furniture Fair, Style Bangkok Fair 2019 covered a wider creative spectrum from furniture to lifestyle products.

 

Radius Table by kenkoon

Radius Table kenkoon Style Bangkok 2019

The decentralized-table that collaborates with the surroundings. Seen from Milan’s Salone del Mobile and back to Bangkok for the finale. The unbalanced proportion from the union of wood, stone and steel creates an open-invitation to encompass the surrounding components to connect as a whole composition. This expands the awareness sense of integration inside the room.

The Ink Chair by Masaya

Ink Chair by Masaya Style Bangkok 2019

The translation of art nouveau’s whiplash motifs through the subtle expression of an oriental brushstroke. The sculpturally slim brass casting places this fit for an art piece. A statement to revive the philosophy of L’œuvre d’art totale, the total work of art in our daily life.

Kira Chair with Armrest by Kriip

The avant-garde elegance for the outdoor lifestyle. The spirit of minimalism celebrates through the rejection of the voluminous language typically of durable outdoor furniture. The timeless language of the body is also matched with the PVD titanium coating on the stainless steel frame. A genuine commitment to withstand the test of time in any harsh climate.

Dom Cat House by Polygami

Dom Cat House by Polygami Style Bangkok 2019

An origami truce between the love of stylistic home and the distasteful cardboard box for the feline friend. A resolution from the installation artist who seeks harmony with the cats. The polygonal dome of chic-colour palette promises to deliver the cosy cardboard’s familiarity to any cat. The recycled flat-packed package is also ‘purr-fect’ for the eco-cat.

Deco Wooden Wall by Deesawat

Deco Wall Deesawat Style Bangkok 2019

The grains of 4 solid woods (white oak, teak, walnut, rosewood) are celebrated in a geometric trompe l’oeil décor for the wall. The natural beauty of wood also ages gracefully without much need for maintenance. A considerate up-cycle approach from off-cut wastes into a space-saving retro tribute.

The tupperware prototype that won both Demark and Good Design awards for its material innovation is in full production this year. The past-guilt of the plastic lunchbox can finally be put to rest with this human-centred design food storage. This Bio-Material from sugarcane outperformed all current materials for its food safety, durability, insulation property, and it is 100% natural.
