Habitus

What does it mean to live in design? With three issues published each year, Habitus is a publication that has been passionately unpacking design from the inside-out and outside-in for more than ten years. Habitus explores how architecture and design express various ways of life, going beyond one-dimensional stories to gain a real understanding of how people live. Through rich narratives, Habitus unpacks what makes design and architecture from the Indo-Pacific so unique. From outstanding houses, to in-depth profiles and a curation of the latest design products – everything featured in Habitus offers a way for readers to connect with the richness and diversity across the region.

Design confessional: Steven John Clark • Steven John Clark is a sculptor, painter, and founder of DenHolm, a multi-discipline art and design studio. In their own words: “We are an impractical bunch. Clumsy and awkward, trying to chain and quantify beauty to perfection when really, she is so much more than that. Stupidity, despite its negative connotations, leads us closer to beauty.”
