Our Stylist Says
The Habitat Whitby Fabric 3 Seater in Papaya is a vibrant choice that instantly brings warmth and energy into a living space. I love its clean, classic silhouette combined with the punchy colour, making it a versatile piece for both modern and eclectic interiors. It works particularly well in neutral settings where it can act as a statement centrepiece, or styled alongside Mid-century-inspired accents for a retro vibe. For practical styling, pair it with textured cushions and a soft throw in contrasting or complementary colours to add a cosy, layered look. Its ash timber legs keep it grounded, but switching in other leg styles can help tailor it to a more contemporary or rustic aesthetic. Overall, it’s a bold, functional addition that adds personality to any living room.

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.
