We're constantly falling back in love with the love seat. And this one really sweeps us off our feet. Button-backed, brass-capped and stacked full of character - we like the Porto. We like it a lot. Inspired by the opulent casino lounge armchairs of 1950s Las Vegas, the bolster cushions are what define this Mid-Century piece. Want more?

Our Stylist Says
I love the Swoon Porto Velvet Armchair in ink blue for its plush, inviting look and sophisticated colour that brings a touch of richness to any space. It's a versatile piece that works well in both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors, adding depth and colour without overpowering the room. When styling, consider pairing it with neutral or patterned cushions to soften the bold hue or placing it against light-toned walls to make the colour pop. Practical tips would be to keep it as a statement piece in a living room or a reading nook, where its comfort and classic shape can be appreciated-adding a cosy throw can also elevate its appeal and make it suitable for everyday use.

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.
