Our Stylist Says
I love this bench for its versatile, earthy tone and comfortable, rounded form, making it an easy addition to both contemporary and cosy interiors. Its warm rust fabric adds a touch of colour without overpowering a space, making it perfect for hallway, bedroom, or living room seating. I’d style it with layered textiles, like cushions or throws, to soften its look, or place it beneath a window for a practical yet stylish seating spot. When styling, consider pairing it with natural wood or brass accents to enhance its warm, organic appeal. This piece works particularly well in relaxed, informal settings and can also serve as a handy finishing touch at the foot of a bed or as extra seating in a dining area when paired with complementary textiles and colours.

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.
