In 1964 Terence Conran and friends set out to bring London a new, European way to shop for contemporary homeware. Duvets, chicken bricks, paper pendant shades and a selection of modern, stylish home furnishings arrive in the UK courtesy of Habitat.

Habitat’s first printed broadsheet catalogue is published in 1966, which offers a peek of products curated in store with illustrations by Juliet Glynn Smith. Habitat By Post launches in 1966, allowing those out of reach of a Habitat store to buy into the lifestyle.

A series of collaborations

Working with the likes of Shrimps, House of Holland and Luke Edward Hall, a new series is introduced to create limited edition collections like no other with acclaimed artists and creatives.

In 2017, the Sainsbury’s Group acquire the UK arm of the brand, along with Argos.

The doors are open! In 2018, two new flagship Habitat stores open in Brighton and Westfield White City in London.
