Habitat is turning 50. To celebrate this milestone year, the famous French home design retailer has turned back the clock to retell its fascinating story, from the company's creation right through to the present day.

Cast your eyes over 150 iconic pieces, all beautifully illustrated and knowledgeably described, along with a number of previously unpublished documents, and discover the influences that have shaped the firm's development and marked the history of design since 1964. This veritable reference work pays tribute to a highly innovative brand that has always remained true to the core ethos established by its founder, Sir Terence Conran : « Useful can be beautiful and beautiful can be affordable ».
