INDIVIDUAL DESIGN
INDIVIDUAL STYLE
every person
is different.
every habitat
is unique. INDIVIDUAL DESIGNS FOR
INDIVIDUAL STYLE
This means that there is never just one over-arching look to
Habitat design. Our products are formed from many different
inspirations brought together each season by our Design Studio,
curated to showcase designs for the home which we feel are
relevant, inspiring, stylish and, most importantly, individual.
Our aim is to create products that are divisive, that get people
talking about design – to evoke passion, love-it or hate-it
reaction. Some designs you might ‘get’, others you might not,
but this is what makes us Habitat. Our style constantly evolves
from season to season. You’ll find a range of design ideas within
our SS19 collection – references from tribal culture, to the
Bauhaus movement, 1980’s pattern to mid-century carpentry– all
completely different design principles but reimagined and unified
by colour and materials that work alongside each other or make
a statement on their own.
Our collections are curated for you to stumble across designs
that surprise and push you outside of your comfort zone, that
encourage you to try something new in your own Habitat,
to express yourself more through your own surroundings.
And importantly you’ll only find these designs at Habitat,
democratically priced and beautifully constructed.

studio ABOUT
“We work very collaboratively within
the studio here at Habitat as we’re
Kate Butler Matthew Long a small team of just four designing
across all areas of interiors. We
create practically all of our collection
in-house from our London HQ so
you won’t find any of our designs
available anywhere else. With our
Buying Teams we work with over 200
different suppliers from 12 different
countries including the UK, Portugal,
Vietnam, Thailand and India, releasing
two main collections each year,
each following a design orientation
that we set following own our trend
forecasting. Creatively we have the
freedom here to adapt our skills to
translate many different ideas – one
day we’re designing using natural
rattan, the next 3D printing and the
next hand thrown ceramics. It’s this
experimentation and playful attitude
towards design which is at the core of
our studio and inspires us all to push
Martha Coates James Cottingham boundaries to create designs with
individuality.”

THE DESIGN STUDIO James Cottingham Designer
THE LOOK MID-CENTURY SIMPLICITY The understated simplicity of mid-century design is something that we’re still very much influenced by at Habitat. Designs are stripped back to clean lines, lack fussy ornamentation and mix together organic and geometric forms as well as mixing simple materials. Here, James Cottingham’s new Cornelia collection is characterised by its turned spindle detailing and nods towards its mid-century design inspiration with a slender profile, gently curved edging and a simple matt lacquer that showcases a beautiful wood grain. Coupled with the Julien sofa and Cooper armchair (in mid-century mustard yellow) with sophisticated curves and symmetrical profiles, this is a cool, reworking of ideas from the past that we still think work for how we live now.

T H E P AT T E R N SEMI-ABSTRACT Surface & Pattern Designer Martha Coates has created a new series of artwork looking at semi- abstract forms in which the original subject remains recognisable but in a highly stylised way. Here a still life of vases from a recent exhibition at The British Museum was the original subject matter which has been translated by Martha through paper-cut collage, reassembled using different scales and colours, and then re-interpreted by our Indian textile suppliers across a range of rugs and cushions.

T H E D E S I G N S TAT E M E N T CLASSICS RE-IMAGINED Cooper armchair £495 Available in yellow, green velvet and grey velvet From February 2019 Hadley touch floor lamp £120 Re-visiting the Habitat archives has always held a fascination for us, re-imagining ideas or products that we feel are relevant for our interiors today. Cooper is a statement mid-century design that we immediately felt brought a new edge to the collection with a skinny metal frame that easily allows light to flow through the design giving the sense of more space within a room.

Made from crystalline glass, the collection is lead free.
THE LOOK 1980’S Polished chrome, angular glass designs and highly saturated brights introduce a 1980’s influence to this seasons collection. Chrome has taken a bit of a back-seat to warmer tones of copper, rose gold and brass in recent seasons but its cool, sharper look is a refreshing move on and when styled with warm colours, tones of rich walnut or paler oak and ash it can look very elegant and confident. James Cottingham’s Garcia floor lamp was inspired by a Habitat catalogue from the 1980s when city-slicker living was at its peak, as was his ‘Seattle’ chrome and glass collection which channels the power 80’s look.

BAUHAUS
T H E P AT T E R N
BAUHAUS
The Bauhaus design movement of the early
twentieth century emphasised the importance of
symmetry and geometric proportion within pattern.
Here Surface and Pattern Designer Martha Coates
has translated these principles into new artworks

and throws.

Our first screen printed furniture designs, the pattern is applied by hand directly to the wood by craftsmen in Vietnam. This modern re-interpretation of tribal influence is something we’ve taken further in our textiles and ceramics, opting for a bright colour palette instead of earthier, more rustic tones, and then coupled this with highly textured materials.

DINING
by Matthew Long
Reuben lava stone dining table £995
Handmade in Vietnam, the Reuben dining table is all about
its dramatic lava-stone tiled top. We discovered these
tiles last year and knew we had to make them central to a
design. Laid individually and finished with cement grout, the
tiles have a very slight unevenness in height which gives a
beautifully textured, hand finished feel and means that each
dining table is different in its finish.DESIGN PROJECT N AT U R A L L I G H T I N G Focusing on spun bamboo and rattan we’ve designed a new range of easy-fit and pendant lights that introduce a softer, more organic vibe to your space. Each piece is hand-made in Vietnam requiring considerable skill and dexterity. The materials allow us to create beautifully curved lightweight structures and the rattan weave allows light to create beautiful patterns of light. We’ve also introduced a new matt black bamboo option designed by James Cottingham that is a beautiful contrast of urban, industrial style being created from a pure, natural material.

DESIGN PROJECT
S TA T E M E N T S I D E B O A R D S
by Matthew Long
Brief - To create a series of stand-out sideboards
each with very different aesthetics that will adapt to
a variety of interiors.
Carlo sideboard £550
From April 2019
Carlo is a low height sideboard designed to let
light reflect from its ribbed facia to give a more
lightweight appearance. Raised skinny legs also
give the appearance that the design is floating as
well as letting more light through into your space.
Finished in petrol-blue gloss, the colour was
chosen to give a luxe effect when coupled with
metallic accents but equally as good with pops of
fluoro colour or a background of exposed brickwork
or cement.

skinny frame surround updated with a brass finish
which gives an elegant edge.

Feliz sideboard £995 From March 2019 A mix of wild grain (oiled) and metal, this design is an extension of our popular Feliz dining collection.

Lowenna metal gauze pendant £130
From February 2019
We clocked metal gauze as an emerging
material trend at a number of installations
and shows being used in a variety of ways. Its
flexibility allows you to create beautifully fluid but
also structured forms. The handmade Lowenna
pendant by James Cottingham overlaps two
brass gauze ‘clouds’ around a central pendant,
casting a warm light and heroing the bare
filament bulb at its core.
STRUCTURED
FLUID
WARMTHE LOOK HANDCRAFT We work with a range of workshops across Portugal, Vietnam and Thailand who create beautiful hand-crafted ceramics. Hand glazing and sculpting makes each of these pieces completely unique – a one-off piece for the home. Slight imperfections, reactive glazes and freehand artwork show where someone has taken time to create each piece, making each one a talking point. Dali white stem vase £35 Hambro tall bottle vase £30 Aveline vase £25 Iliana vase £20 Elska small vase £25 Sumner small white vase £25
DESIGN PROJECT HANDWOVEN We’ve explored a variety of different weaving techniques with our new season of basketware which is handmade by specialist weavers in Vietnam. Working with natural water hyacinth, seagrass and bamboo we’ve curated a range of interesting new shapes and patterns for laundry baskets and open and closed storage. Cora set of 2 woven storage baskets £85 Clemmie set of 2 woven storage baskets £75 Omi set of 3 woven storage baskets £85 Mack blue patterned woven laundry basket £60 Mack blue patterned woven storage trunk £45 Idaho small black patterned woven laundry basket £40 Murli red and black woven laundry basket £100

THE LOOK TERRAZZO A Habitat take on the terrazzo trend, we’ve experimented with both scale and colour to make a different statement with this material. Used across tabletop, lighting, textiles, accessories and planters, we’ve looked at urban, concrete tones but also gone for a bright multi-coloured option to give a 1970’s Miami vibe. Zula terrazzo candle holder £25 Zula terrazzo bird object £20 Javi large rectangle terrazzo serving board £35 Javi round terrazzo serving board with handle £30 Paz round planters (set of 2) £75 Terrazzo concrete ceiling light £120
T H E D E S I G N S TAT E M E N T BEDROOM by Matthew Long Phoebe bedroom collection From February 2019 Designed to exude a sense of calm, the new Phoebe bedroom range uses a cool soft mint green veneer on an ash wood frame. Emphasis has been made on the curved detailing of the drawer ‘lozenges’, which are set out of the frame, and make the designs softer, transforming quite large blocks into something more organic.

THE DESIGN PROJECT S M A L L S PA C E by James Cottingham Juno sofa in yellow velvet £695 From February 2019 The brief here was to create a compact sofa that would work for the smallest of apartments which had awkward access. Arms on sofas are the main design feature that restrict access to some spaces so we’ve created an armless design with a generous seat depth to allow comfortable lounging. The lack of arms also allows more light to flow within the room giving a sense of more space.

VERONA BEDROOM
by James Cottingham
Verona bedroom collection
From February 2019
Using wood grain as pattern was an idea we saw at
many installations and shows last year. For our take
on this we’ve chopped the walnut grain at 45 degree
angles to create a precise parquet front to the Verona
collection. We’ve kept the rest of the design extremely
simple, dispensing with handles for push touch
drawers, so as not to detract from the chevron design.

The Ingrid dresser is one example of this with its soft curved, art deco inspired design, re-worked with brass handles and legs and its height making it useful for storage in multiple room setups.
DESIGN PROJECT HOME OFFICE Etta oak desk designed by James Cottingham £895 From February 2019 James Cottingham’s Etta design uses strips of bent timber to give a soft curved profile that wraps around its user. Available in black or oak, the design has a modern ‘Mad Men’ feel about it with ribbed detailing on the three concealed desktop drawers to give an interesting front and minimal footprint on skinny legs in contrast to more traditional ‘banker’ style desks.
