Price History
Description
Made in Italy, the Elkin charcoal textured fabric sofa offers the ultimate in high-end design with soft, feather-filled cushions that cocoon you as you unwind. The luxurious sofa combines a streamlined, contemporary box-shaped frame with sumptuous feather and foam seat cushions, and feather-filled back and side cushions, giving it an informal, slouchy look. The Elkin sofa acquires a relaxed, lived-in feel over time, but its cushions benefit from a good plumping once or twice a week to restore their shape and get the air circulating. The sofa is exclusive to Habitat and available in a choice of fabrics and leathers in a variety of colours and sizes.
Our Stylist Says
This sofa's great for creating a modern and sophisticated look, especially thanks to its textured fabric and charcoal colour, which offer a versatile and understated appeal. It works well in contemporary interiors, but also pairs nicely with minimalist or industrial styles. To style it effectively, consider adding cushions in contrasting colours or patterns to add visual interest, or keep accents neutral for a cohesive, calm space. Its compact size makes it practical for both living rooms and open-plan areas, and the dark hue is forgiving of wear and stains, making it a solid choice for family or frequently used spaces. Pair with sleek tables and understated accessories to let the sofa remain the focal point.

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.
