Our Stylist Says
This cheerful orange sofa is a great statement piece that can inject colour into both modern and eclectic interiors. Its velvet finish adds a touch of luxury, while the compact size makes it versatile for smaller living rooms or cosy nooks. I love pairing it with neutral tones like beige or grey to let the vibrant fabric really pop, but it can also be combined with patterned cushions or textured throws for added visual interest. The oak stained feet give a natural touch that works particularly well in mid-century or Scandinavian-inspired schemes. Practical styling tip: keep the surrounding decor simple to highlight the sofa's colour, and consider adding layered lighting to bring out the rich velvet texture on different occasions.

The Birth of Habitat
In 1964, Sir Terence Conran founded Habitat in London, aiming to bring a fresh European touch to UK home decor.
The first store, located on Fulham Road in Chelsea, became the blueprint for all Habitat stores to come. The store stood out with its distinct design, and was famously known for selling affordable pasta storage jars just as the pasta market began booming in the UK.
Rapid Expansion & Legacy
Habitat grew swiftly in the UK during the 1960s and even crossed borders with its first international store in Paris in 1973.
The brand's journey through the decades saw various mergers and acquisitions, including its integration with Sainsbury's Group in 2017.
Habitat's innovation extended beyond products; they even launched a mail-order system in 1966 and initiated the concept of flat-pack furniture in 1971.
Celebrating its rich history, the brand marked its 50th anniversary in 2014 by collaborating with past designers and commissioning a special logo.
Innovation & Collaboration
Habitat has always been at the forefront of modern design. Throughout its history, the brand has been renowned for its collaborations with acclaimed artists and designers, ensuring it consistently offers unique, limited-edition collections.
Under the umbrella of the Sainsbury's Group since 2017, Habitat continues its tradition of merging contemporary aesthetics with functional design, solidifying its reputation as a leading name in home furnishings.
