In Wendy Blount’s House of Habit, furniture legs make EVERY seat the best seat in the house
If Thomas Chippendale and Coco Chanel had a one night stand, the nine-months-later surprise would have been House of Habit. Founded by designer Wendy Blount and co-creative director Brooke Taylor, the company produces high-end furniture legs inspired by every girl’s best friend: designer heels. But guys — you’re not left out of this — the brute strength of the “Groove” leg will definitely pique your interest. House of Habit morphed from concept to execution in just nine months with a mission of bringing instant glamour to any chair, sofa or ottoman. Whether you’re in for leather, brass, crystal or glass, Wendy’s got great designer legs. Wax need not apply.
Crystal vision
Give ‘em the old razzle dazzle with the “Crystal” leg. With hand-applied Swarovski crystals over a shiny painted platinum finish, this style is one part function and one part Tony Duquette.
In the garden of [Barbara] Eden
The “Genie” model gives Barbara Eden’s fancy lamp a run for its money. Made of solid brass in a natural finish, this gem’s height also is customizable.
Take home the bronze
“Bronze Leather” scores a perfect ten for its sheen and texture. This upholstered trophy of a leg is wrapped in polished bronze leather with a wood veneer bottom.
About facet
Strong and sophisticated pretty much sums up the “Facet” leg. This customizable style is made of stainless steel, plated in nickel and then given a polished look — literally. NOTE : all metal styles can be customized as large as a full scale chair leg!
I can see clearly now
See right through the bottom of your guests—their feet, that is—with the “Groove” leg. This glass act boasts strength and style with a polished finish that features carved groove detail. By the way, if you’re thinking glass legs equal potential disaster, think again. Ms. Blount demonstrated the strength of these transparent pretties by chucking them onto a concrete floor. Thrice. The result? Not even an iota of a scratch.
Color me happy
Add perk to your settee or sofa with the happy hues of the aluminum “Enamel” leg. The nearly infinite color options are sandwiched between a top and bottom plated in polished nickel.
