“ | “Clean, chunky lines set this collection apart as a preserve of the down-to-earth Habbo. It's beautiful in this simplicity, and welcoming to every Habbo. Male, female, old, young, straight, gay: all will feel at home with the uncluttered, though highly funtional and comfortable, Area Collection” |
Area is one of the oldest furni ranges on Habbo. Its design, while fundamentally the same, has been updated several times since it was first launched, due to it being one of the oldest furni ranges and the graphic style of Habbo changing.
When it was first introduced to the Hotels, originally named 'Silo' as it was meant to function as simple, office style furniture - however many players now favour the Executive range for this purpose. Area furniture is no longer available to buy in the Shop.
Originally, Area was only released in a shiny brown colour, but was updated to the default turquoise colour (named Gray within Habbo) with the update to V11, in September 2006 in the Finnish hotel (study desk) and the Swiss hotel (bar stool and safe). Soon after that the other colours were added across the hotels.

Furniture
Purple Area
During the Easter 2013 campaign, 4 Crackable Eggs were released. It has been widely speculated that Purple Area was due to be included in the Crackable Egg Level 1: images of the White area were uploaded onto the Habbo database at the same time as the eggs, with the furni names 'Purple Area ___', and sprites were recoloured to the purple items at an unspecified later date. However the items are rarely seen on Habbo so it is believed the items were not recoloured in users' inventories.
In December 2020, when the catalogue and Builders Club catalogue were updated, the Purple Area Gate was added to Builders Club under 'Area' tab. All the other purple area appear to be a mystery.
Habbo have confirmed via a tweet[1] that there are no plans to reintroduce Purple Area to the catalogue. Instead, the purple Area furniture were released through a collectors deal in the webshop on April 18 during the Habbo's Eco World campaign and could be purchased for €10,99. This deal included: 4 Purple Area Sofas, 4 Purple Area Armchairs, 4 Purple Area Dining Chairs, 4 Purple Area Bar Stools, 4 Purple Area Safes, 4 Purple Area Coffee Tables, 4 Purple Area Gates and 6 Purple Area Occasional Tables.
Badge
Everyone who purchased the Collectors deal also received a badge.
According to Habbowidgets 14 Habbos have this badge.
Trivia
- The Gray Dining Chair and Large Coffee Table were also a part of a Deals package for 5 Credits which contained: 3 Dining Chairs and 1 Coffee Table.
- Yellow colored Area was available in 2007 for Habbo Club members only in the Club Shop
- The default colour of Area is called Gray, although it has a turquoise tint and is often referred to as Turquoise by players.
- The badge from the Purple Area Collectors Deal shows a purple double bed, however the bed was never recolored neither for the collectors deal.
