In celebration of the annual Habitus Kitchen & Bathroom issue, Poliform, Australia, hosted Habitus for an exclusive panel on emerging trends and behaviours in these spaces.
Benn+Penna create a calm and contemplative living space with a low-contrast material palette and kitchen joinery designed like furniture.
