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.

Habitus Loves… A Life Lived Outdoors

The Jil Table by Justin Hutchinson from Tait

This best-selling collection is a much-loved Tait Classic. Light on its feet – yet incredibly strong, the Jil Table’s (and Jak Chair’s) wireframe structure gives both chair and table a nimble form and fine-lined profile.

Swisspearl Loop Chair by Willy Guhl from Robert Plumb

Dating from 1954, the Loop outdoor chair by Swiss industrial designer Will Guhl quickly became a design classic. Its ribbon-like appearance makes a dashing sculptural form beside a pool but works equally well in a courtyard or private garden nook.
