Description
"Plumptuous." That's how this sofa feels. Straight out of the Loaf oven of squish.
Our Stylist Says
I love this one for its versatile, understated style that works well in both modern and traditional interiors. The Bakewell sofa’s relaxed silhouette and soft upholstery make it perfect for creating a cosy, lived-in feel, especially in family rooms or open-plan living spaces. Practical styling tips include pairing it with textured cushions or throws to add visual interest, while its neutral tone acts as a great backdrop for colourful accessories or artwork. Its compact yet comfortable design also lends itself well to smaller spaces, as it provides ample seating without overwhelming the room. Overall, it's a reliable choice for those seeking comfort and style with a contemporary edge.

About Loaf
From Beds to Diverse Furniture
Loaf is a popular British furniture store that started as "The Sleep Room" by Charlie Marshall in 2008. Charlie used money from selling his old business and his savings to start it.
At first, they just sold beds, with Charlie researching 187 mattress and bed factories to ensure only the best products. But by 2012, they began selling other furniture like sofas, chairs, and lights, which led to its rebranding as "Loaf."
Their growth was so impressive that by 2013, they ranked 40th on the Sunday Times Fast Track 100, becoming the 3rd fastest growing retailer in the UK.
Sustainability and Ethical Approach
Loaf's commitment to the environment and ethical practices is evident in their efforts to ensure sustainable sourcing. They aim for all their materials to be responsibly sourced or derived from recycled materials by 2025.
For instance, the timber in their sofa frames comes from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, they're working towards reducing their carbon emissions, improving packaging to be 100% recyclable, and respecting animal welfare.
Notably, their wool will be certified to the Responsible Wool Standard by 2023. Loaf also ensures that all their employees, or 'Loafers,' are paid at least the 'real' Living Wage.
Locations and Community Engagement
Presently, Loaf boasts ten showrooms, uniquely referred to as 'slowrooms,' mainly around London. Beyond just business, they're active in community engagement.
They have partnered with St Mungo's, a leading UK charity, aiming to spend 10,000 hours over the next three years volunteering and raising funds to combat homelessness.
