The Habitat Issue
Locavore NXT second publication, ‘Localised Rebellion Vol. II – Habitat Issue’, explores its immediate surroundings, reflecting on habitat as defined by its people, communities, and ideas. NXT follows this natural direction, using it as both compass and guide.
By sharing its antics, we hope to inspire you to see that ‘doing good’ isn’t a constraint—it’s an opportunity. In collaboration with Agency X, we designed the publication to highlight the many layers and behind-the-scenes stories that shape NXT habitat.
The cover for the second editorial is inspired by the traditional technique of anyaman. The colourful, tactile cover celebrates diversity, locality, and the beauty of things woven together.
We experimented with Yohan Liliyani photographs using petai—a humble kitchen ingredient—alongside wild local flowers. The image was printed twice, cut into strips, and woven back together by hand in a process called photo weaving. Although it originates from the same photograph, the act of weaving and crossing the strips creates an entirely new visual composition.
This process reflects the spirit of Locavore — a place where many stories, ingredients, and perspectives come together, all rooted in the same habitat.
