Description
Design. Made from 100% recyclable materials, The Big Blue Sofa is eco-friendly throughout, right down to its sustainably sourced wooden frame and use of chemical-free glue. Doing good while looking great, this small sofa is available in a range of stylish fabrics – and it’s hard to believe that these supple fibres once lived life as plastic bottles. Featuring gentle curves and plump cushioning, the Big Blue sofa is soft in every sense, delivering big on comfort while keeping your conscience clean.
Our Stylist Says
The Big Blue is a fantastic small sofa that works well in both contemporary and eclectic interiors due to its rich navy hue and rounded silhouette. I love its compact size, making it ideal for more petite living spaces or as an accent piece in larger rooms. To style it effectively, consider adding textured cushions for comfort and visual interest; opting for contrasting colours like warm neutrals or metallics can elevate its look. It pairs beautifully with minimalist or mid-century furniture, and its deep colour lends itself to layering with rugs, throws, or artwork to create a cosy yet polished feel. Practical tip: keep the surrounding decor fairly simple to let the sofa be the statement without overwhelming the space.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
