Sit back and relax in contemporary Scandi style with this neat Todd two-seater sofa by Gallery Direct. It's made in the UK for lasting quality. Its chenille fabric creates a wonderfully soft feel. Slim hardwood feet provide an elevated finish and contrasting detail.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Todd Chenille 2 Seater in dusky rose for its versatile elegance and inviting texture. It works particularly well in both modern and traditional interiors, adding a subtle pop of colour without overwhelming the room. A stylists tip is to pair it with neutral-toned accessories and layered textiles, like throws and cushions in complementary shades such as soft greys, beiges, or even blush, to create a curated and cosy look. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller living spaces or as part of a mixed seating arrangement. For practical styling, keep the surrounding decor simple and let the sofa be the statement piece, while adding warm metallic accents or textured rugs for added depth.

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.
