Shopfront: As natty things for a summer table go, this food cover is practical but looks cool in an old fashioned kind of way (probably because the idea isn't a new one).

Made from bamboo and mesh it comes in three' sizes- with a diameter of 40cm (€20), 36cm (€12.50) and 30cm (€8.00) - and will protect food from insects.

Other summer things new in Habitat include all standard issue summer goods such as folding deck chairs in retro fabrics; striped hammocks, neat round and rectangular folding tables and bamboo stem parasols.
