Introduction
“Looking ahead to 2023, Habitat has focused on providing versatile additions for the home that can be easily incorporated to existing collections and interiors.
“Our design and product development teams have prioritised enduring, long-lasting products that will live through evolving interiors trends and the needs of the modern home, particularly for renters.
“With an emphasis on updating rather than transforming, it’s never been easier for customers to make small refreshes to create comfortable and personal spaces in the home.
“The spring / summer collections introduce three new conversational styles that champion adaptable and transitional designs, created to fit within existing schemes and produce inspirational interiors.”

We’ve also reintroduced our classic Rattan Chaise from the Habitat archives for the new season, whose plump curvilinear silhouette prioritises comfort to promote serenity and wellbeing in the home.”
