Description
A cosy companion that you’ll look forward to coming home to, the Darwin large leather sofa boasts luxurious blown fibre cushioning for that sink-into-me quality. Its gorgeous brown leather upholstery is richly coloured and textured for a touch of rugged character, whilst classically tufted arms and stud detailing provide traditional charm. Adding shape as well as style, two feather-filled scatter cushions ensure optimum support just where you need it – twice as satisfying when you have the sofa to yourself. Also available as a pillow back with leather and fabric upholstery, please contact our sales team for details.
Our Stylist Says
The Darwin Large Leather Sofa is a classic choice that combines both comfort and timeless style. I love its generous proportions and durable leather finish, which makes it versatile for various interiors - from cosy, traditional living rooms to more contemporary, industrial spaces. To style it effectively, consider adding textured cushions or throws in contrasting fabrics or colours to soften its look and add a layered feel. It works well with neutral tones for a sleek, modern vibe or paired with richer colours and vintage accessories for a more eclectic aesthetic. Keep the surrounding decor simple to let the sofa be the focal point, and consider placing it in an open-plan space with plenty of natural light to enhance its understated elegance.

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.
