Price History
Description
You thought you weren't one for tradition. So did we until we designed (and met) the Charlbury. It's so elegantly classic- an English roll-arm sofa with pleating on the arms, hook cushions, brass leg caps and charm. In absolute abundance. Deep and shapely sink-into cushions on a base that's crisp and slender - the best blend of comfort and refinement. Want more? Have a look at designs from Swoon's Charlbury Classic sofa range.

Our Stylist Says
I love the Charlbury velvet two-seater for its timeless elegance and versatile taupe hue, which pairs beautifully with both modern and traditional interiors. It works particularly well in neutrally styled living rooms or those with warm, earthy tones, adding softness and a touch of luxury. Practical styling tips include layering with textured cushions in contrasting colours or fabrics to add visual interest, and pairing with a statement rug or a mix of lightweight throws for cosy appeal. The velvet upholstery offers a sophisticated look while being durable enough for everyday use; just ensure it’s placed away from direct sunlight to maintain its colour and texture over time.

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.
