Price History
Description
Handmade from natural rattan with a wicker weave frame, the Samford three-seater from Desser is a modern take on traditional conservatory furniture, featuring fully upholstered panelling for added comfort in the conservatory or living room. The scatter cushions and thick base 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 Samford 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 this sofa for its versatile and timeless appeal, with the rattan framing adding a subtle coastal or vintage touch. It works particularly well in relaxed, informal interiors such as coastal, boho, or modern country settings. The grey fabric is neutral and easy to style around, making it ideal for layering with cushions and throws in different colours and patterns. For a balanced look, consider pairing it with natural textures like wood or wicker, and keep accessories minimal for a fresh feel. Practical styling tips include using the scatter back cushions to create a inviting, plush setting, and choosing durable, easy-to-clean fabrics to keep it looking its best in busy households.

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.
