Our Stylist Says
The Habitat Askem sofa offers a versatile, contemporary look with its charcoal fabric and dark legs, making it an excellent anchor piece for both modern and more traditional interiors. I love its understated hue, which is perfect for layering with colourful cushions or throws without competing for attention. Its compact two-seater size works well in smaller living spaces or as part of a larger seating arrangement. For styling, consider pairing it with textured accessories like knitted throws or patterned cushions to add depth, and keep surrounding furniture in neutral tones for a cohesive, stylish finish. Its neutral palette also means it can adapt easily to various colour schemes, making it a practical choice for updated or evolving interiors.

About Habitat
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.
