HABITAT FURNITURE

Here are pictures of furniture specially designed for Habitat 67.  It's called the Habitat Chair(how appropriate!).  There is also a matching ottoman/table.  I acquired these in 1996 directly from a resident of Habitat 67 who was ....."updating" the look of his terrasse.  A pity really.  I'm sad to see that many residents want to update Habitat 67.  You simply DON'T update design icons.  Not by my standards anyway.  They put all kind of miss matched furniture like those horrible generic plastic chairs you find at home hardware stores that have absolutely no style or those even more horrible plastic chairs that immitate victorian garden furniture.  People shouldn't be allowed to put anything else than modern furniture of the 60s and the 70s in this masterpiece of design that is HABITAT 67.  Especially outside.  In their appartment.... well that's another story but please, keep Habitat 67 its uniformity on the outside for everyone to see !
