Description
A perfect blend of style and comfort, whether you're furnishing your conservatory, kitchen area, summer house or living room, the three-seater Arlington rattan sofa has a timeless look. Handcrafted with a handwoven cane frame, the design features Pirelli webbing for optimal frame support and added stability. Upholstered arms add a touch of sophistication and enhance the overall comfort. Dacron wrap prevents worn areas, maintaining the sofa's pristine appearance over time. Foam-filled seat cushions paired with supportive fibre-filled back cushions ensure lasting comfort. The cushions are made in the UK, in Manchester. The cushion inners are also made in the UK, so the quality and comfort are to the highest standard. The sofa complements matching rattan furniture in the Arlington range. Strong and durable, natural rattan is low maintenance and easy to keep clean. Wipe the furniture clean with a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth and dry it afterwards. Keep the furniture in a dry environment and avoid leaving it under direct sunlight for prolonged periods. The furniture's colour lasts longer if moved around a conservatory regularly to protect it from direct sunlight in the same spot. Sourced in Indonesia, rattan is fast-growing compared to wood alternatives. Every part of the rattan vine is used. Outer rattan cane is used for attractive weaving, and the solid core is steamed to manipulate it into beautiful furniture shapes.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Desser Arlington rattan sofa for its understated elegance and versatility. Its grey upholstery offers a neutral base, making it easy to style with a range of colour palettes and accessories. The woven rattan sides add a touch of texture and a hint of natural warmth, making it suitable for both contemporary and coastal-inspired interiors. For practical styling, consider pairing it with cushions in contrasting fabrics or colours to add comfort and personalise the look. Placing it against a light-coloured wall and layering with soft throws can create a welcoming, relaxed vibe, while its sturdy design makes it suitable for both family rooms and more formal sitting areas. This piece works particularly well in space-conscious interiors that benefit from its compact yet inviting profile.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
