Price History
Description
This Barker and Stonehouse armchair combines Scandi style with iltimate comfort. Tactile chenille upholstery gives this chair a wonderfully soft feel and plenty of back support, while the hardwood feet give a refined finish. The seat cushion is removable for easy care. Made in Britain.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Barker and Stonehouse armchair for its soft pink shade, which adds a subtle touch of colour without overwhelming a space. It's versatile enough to work well in both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors, especially when paired with neutral tones or muted palettes. For styling tips, consider layering with textured cushions or a cosy throw to enhance its inviting feel. It works particularly well in living rooms, reading nooks, or bedrooms where you want a statement yet comfortable piece. To keep it looking fresh, opt for a washable or easy-care fabric and place it where natural light can highlight its colour without exposing it to direct sunlight for too long.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
