Completely off topic, but Habitat are now owned by Argos 😮

The largest shareholder in Sainsburys is the state of Qatar. (not sure what that means) :)

Sadly put me off Habitat when I found out the Argos connection.

Snobby I know 🤣

Though I do think their designs have gone downhill. Could be my taste is just aeons in the past 🤣

Just had a look at Habitat's website, there's definitely been a drop in quality of design, can see there are a few original Habitat products still there e.g. the Radius furniture range, but overall it looks mostly Argos stuff and prices. Disappointing to see as Habitat was a nice halfway-house between Ikea and Heals/Conran.

I don't mind being called a snob if it means not wanting a chest of drawers that look like they've been knocked out by Grandad in an air raid shelter during the Blitz...:)

I still have my Habitat Teapot from Arthur Wood which I bought in 1980 ish.

Used to have matching Wallpaper in my Kitchen back then.

Amazing after 40 years it has not been Broken. (Fingers Crossed) I can be pretty clumsy.

I just googled Arthur Wood. Several teapots on eBay.

They don't look very Habitat though???
