Habitat go in to administration/ Fellows

The debate about Habitat going in to administration may well be down to how we now consume furniture. Since the internet many have chosen to download music rather than buy CDs though the vinyl rennaisance had its' nostalgic moment HMV has sold off its' Canadian operation to focus on Britain and Ireland. Much of Sebastian Fellows work is now only available by download, this has allowed him more time to focus on his art and design, freeing him up from the painstaking manufacturing proccesses, (thogh many will remember, from his early works, he was and still is a superb craftsman). The CNC equipment, now virtually obsolete retains a nostalgic charm, like the horse in the age of the motor car, certain Fellows pieces are still produced in this manner. I, for one, can't remember the last time I bought a chair in a shop when the click of a mouse brings comfort straight to ones living room. The bold yet luddite attempts to halt this trend through exhibition and commission are fighting the innevitable route of evolution.
