The Great Indoors

151: Habitats back! Interview with head of design Andrew Tanner


Listen Later

This year is the 60th anniversary of Habitat and today we are thrilled to be chatting to

Andrew Tanner, head of design at Habitat who heads up a team of 28 designers who

have all been super busy re-issuing and updating iconic archive products as well as

creating exciting new ones. We all have our own fond memories of the high street


store that delivered exciting fresh designs. At one point it seems everyone had the

iconic Tord Boontje garland light. Taking over the legacy laid down by the late Sir

Terence Conran, is a big one, but Andrew, who also heads up the design teams at

Argos and Sainsburys, is uniquely placed to understand the challenges it has faced

in recent years which is how, perhaps we can now say Habitat is back!
