Habitat home furnishings and decor

Habitat is a renowned British brand that has significantly influenced modern interior design since its inception in the 1960s. Founded by Sir Terence Conran, the brand was built on the philosophy of making contemporary, stylish design accessible to the general public. Over the decades, Habitat has become synonymous with a 'lifestyle' approach to furniture, offering everything from large upholstery pieces to intricate home accessories.

While the brand originated in the United Kingdom, its ownership has transitioned through several major retail groups. After a period of international expansion and various corporate acquisitions, Habitat's UK operations were eventually acquired by the Home Retail Group. Today, the brand is owned by J Sainsbury plc, one of the UK’s largest retail organizations. This ownership has integrated Habitat products into Sainsbury's and Argos stores, ensuring its continued presence in the British market.

Manufacturing for Habitat products is global, reflecting the diverse nature of its catalog. Furniture and textiles are sourced from various specialized hubs, including Europe and Asia, depending on the material requirements and craftsmanship needed for specific collections.
