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.

Kisaragi

By K5 Furniture

An innovation called Compressed straight-grainer cedar.

Kisaragi is the worlds first dining chair to make use of straight-grained cedar wood. HIDA’s attempt to leverage the appeal of the dignified straight grain that is characteristic of cedar lead to research for compressed wood that was not “cross-grain wood,” where knots and the like appear in the wood, but “straight-grain wood,” which requires more precise and uniform compression technology. Success in this research birthed “Kisaragi,” where the beautiful straight grain and straight lines are out in their best light. The name “Kisaragi,” means “for plants to turn over a new leaf,” symbolising domestic cedar wood being given a new lease on life.
