An iconic design holds its appeal long after the trends that surround it have moved on. It comes down to proportion, material and restraint. Our iconic pieces draw on the Habitat design heritage, where good design was always the starting point.

We are the company behind Habitat in France. That heritage runs back to the design tradition Terence Conran founded in 1964. Our iconic pieces carry that lineage of considered, accessible design. In Australia we are trading as European Lifestyle, to cut a long story short, the trademark was taken.

Our iconic range is made by the workshops and makers behind the Habitat design heritage. These are pieces built to the original standards of material and construction, not loose copies. Each product page lists the materials and origin.

An iconic piece works best given room to be seen. Let it anchor a space rather than competing with too much around it. Pair it with quieter pieces and honest materials so the design holds the attention it deserves.

Yes. Iconic pieces are made from solid materials and constructed to hold up across years of use. Build quality is what allows a design to stay relevant. Materials and warranty details are listed on each product page.
