Price History
Description
A contemporary update on the classic, scroll-arm design, the Townsend navy velvet armchair has a T-cushion seat and a welcoming, open shape. Taller legs at the front and a reclined, padded back encourage relaxation, while the generously proportioned, feather-topped seat cushion makes the elegant armchair incredibly comfortable. Handmade to order in Italy, Townsend is available in a variety of shapes and sizes and a wide choice of fabrics and colours.
Our Stylist Says
I love this navy velvet armchair for its classic yet versatile appeal. The rich blue hue adds depth and sophistication, making it a great statement piece in both traditional and contemporary interiors. It works particularly well in living rooms with neutral palettes or pairing with other jewel tones for an opulent feel. For practical styling tips, consider layering with cushions in contrasting textures like linen or faux fur, and pair it with a wooden side table or neutral rug to balance the plush fabric with natural elements. Its compact size makes it ideal for cosy corners or as an accent chair in larger spaces, providing both style and comfort without overwhelming the room.

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.
