After hitting the market in 1967, this Japan-inspired lantern has been a favorite among students for its simple-yet-elegant design and competitive price. The lamp is made from rice paper, allowing it to give off a soft and soothing light, and is available in three different sizes (35cm, 40cm and 60cm).

Introduced by Habitat in 1968, this item had its heyday in the ‘70s but it still remains one of their most popular products to this day. Inspired by Roman cooking methods, the terracotta brick functions as a mini oven within the oven, which steams the chicken in its own moisture—no added fat necessary—resulting in succulently moist meat. The effective cooking tool comes with a set of cooking instructions and three recommended recipes.
