Here are our top finds from Feria Hábitat València.

Sancal

The Spanish brand celebrates 50 years with their Fiesta fabric crafted by the Dutch textile manufacturer Byborre in two contrasting colorways: Día and Noche. The new Bold table by Studiopepe also refereneces the vibes of 1973, the year the brand was founded.

Punt Mobles

The Firenze storage unit with its obtuse angles is meant to float freely in an interior space, its mix of handmade oak veneers and glass the work of Italian designer and architect Rodolfo Dordoni.

Isimar

Lightweight and smooth like the namesake drink, the Martini outdoor chairs and tables by Lagranja Design adapt to many environments including hospitality, contract, and residential patios and the like.

Expormim

A special indoor edition of the brand’s classic Lapala chair by Lievore Altherr Molina marks the design’s 25th anniversary, the weave of its seat requiring a whooping eight hours to complete.

Iota Project

The Tel Aviv-based brand debuts at Habitat with a line of outdoor-ready rugs, poufs, and cushions, the latter two with incorporated straps for ease of transport from indoors to outside. Items are made by Syrian refugees currently based in Istanbul.

Ondarreta

Light passes through the semi-translucent Supra task chairs by Stockholm-based Note Design Studio, producing a delicate glow on the Iceberg, Dune, Brique, Biscay Blue, and Fumé polypropylene seats. Previewed by Ondarreta, the family-owned brand based in Spain’s Basque region, the seat comes with myriad base options and is also available upholstered.

Andreu World

Afuera, a distinctive outdoor modular sofa from the mind of brand collaborator Alfredo Häberli, rests atop two iroko wood supports, the construction inspired by traditional Japanese sandals.
