European Lifestyle Reviews 

Written by the company

Born on October 4, 1931, in Kingston upon Thames, Terence Conran, then a young designer, opened the first Habitat store in London in 1964. Frustrated by the inability to sell his designs, which were rejected by stores of the time, he believed it was possible to offer a significant improvement in lifestyle to a wider audience. In the mid-1960s, tastes were changing, social mores were evolving, and the new generation dreamed of furnishing their homes differently. With Habitat, Terence Conran revolutionised interior design and was committed to making design accessible to everyone. In the stores, it was not uncommon to meet a member of the Beatles or even the royal family. After going through a period of transition, the Habitat brand has been relaunched in 2024 by the Vente-unique.com group, an expert in online furniture sales across France and Europe since 2006. This was accompanied by both a desire to revive our rich heritage and to reconnect with our commitment to excellence and accessibility in design. Our commitment to innovation, quality, and product sustainability remains stronger than ever. We continue to promote accessible and timeless design, respecting the original spirit of the brand. At Habitat, reinventing everyday life through creations that are both beautiful and functional remains our core mission, so that every home can reflect the best of contemporary design and thus continue to write the story begun by Sir Terence Conran.See more
