Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its luxe gold finish paired with the rich, deep leather, which gives it a classic yet contemporary appeal. It's ideal for adding a statement piece in a traditional or eclectic interior, especially in spaces that mix vintage charm with a touch of glamour. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or jewel-toned cushions to accentuate the gold detail, and placing it against contrasting colours or textures to make it really pop. It's versatile enough to work well in a living room, study, or even a luxurious corner in a hallway, making it a stylish and functional addition to a variety of interiors.

About Arighi Bianchi
A Landmark Store with a Rich Heritage
At the heart of the brand is its iconic four-storey showroom in Macclesfield - a Grade II* listed building inspired by the Crystal Palace - which has become a destination for interior enthusiasts across the UK. Over generations, the family-run business has built a reputation for quality, even supplying furniture to British royalty in its early years.

Its collections span sofas, dining furniture, beds, lighting, flooring, soft furnishings and accessories, alongside carefully selected brands such as Vispring, Ercol and Stressless. This curated, multi-brand approach allows customers to create cohesive interiors that blend timeless elegance with contemporary style.
From Furniture Store to Lifestyle Destination
In recent years, Arighi Bianchi has evolved beyond traditional retail into a broader lifestyle experience - incorporating in-store design inspiration, curated accessory spaces and even a café to create a more immersive shopping environment. This shift reflects a modern focus on experiential retail, appealing to a new generation of homeowners while staying true to its heritage.

Still run by the founding family five generations on, Arighi Bianchi continues to balance tradition with innovation. Its long history, commitment to quality and carefully curated product range make it a trusted destination for those looking to invest in furniture and homeware designed to last.
