21 A HANDMADE
ARMCHAIR
There are milestones
every adult must pass
through: ordering your
first drink, getting
hooked on caffeine and
picking up the phone
when it says “private
number”. But the most
memorable one is
buying your first piece
of furniture that’s not
from IKEA. If you want
it to be an heirloom, an
armchair, like this one
that’s been designed
and crafted by a real
person in Melbourne,
is as versatile as
furniture comes and
will work basically
from the cradle to
the grave. @
Armchair, $2,353,

In a generous size, they weigh more than
your luggage for a month in Europe, but
Le Creuset cast-iron pots heat evenly, are
easy to clean and last a lifetime. No, seriously,
they have a lifetime warranty, which in this
age of disposable everything, is saying something.
As a bonus, the pots look pretty damn good
on the kitchen bench, too.

Research shows that
short bursts of intense
exercise is anti-ageing
at a cellular level.
After quick hits of
aerobic exercise,
HIIT participants in
a study had a boost
in mitochondria
functioning and
ribosome activity, both
necessary to create
energy and build muscle,
while also showing
improved insulin
levels, which can lead
to a lowered risk of
diabetes. So you can feel
good knowing that as
you watch the clock in
class, you’re turning it
back at the same time.
