Price History
Description
This deep sofa has a glamorous, pre-war feel to it. With its faded grandeur but extremely high squish factor, it's ideal for retiring to for a cup of tea or three.
Our Stylist Says
The Dixie's a versatile choice for both classic and contemporary interiors, thanks to its timeless chesterfield silhouette and soft green upholstery. I love its tufted back and rounded arms, which add a touch of elegance without feeling too formal. It's best placed in living rooms aiming for a cosy, inviting vibe, and pairs well with neutral or even patterned cushions to create a layered look. Practical styling tips include keeping accessories understated to let the sofa stand out, or dressing it up with textured throws for added comfort. Its solid build and flexible aesthetic make it suitable for spaces ranging from traditional to modern, as long as you keep the colour palette in harmony.

About Loaf
From Beds to Diverse Furniture
Loaf is a popular British furniture store that started as "The Sleep Room" by Charlie Marshall in 2008. Charlie used money from selling his old business and his savings to start it.
At first, they just sold beds, with Charlie researching 187 mattress and bed factories to ensure only the best products. But by 2012, they began selling other furniture like sofas, chairs, and lights, which led to its rebranding as "Loaf."
Their growth was so impressive that by 2013, they ranked 40th on the Sunday Times Fast Track 100, becoming the 3rd fastest growing retailer in the UK.
Sustainability and Ethical Approach
Loaf's commitment to the environment and ethical practices is evident in their efforts to ensure sustainable sourcing. They aim for all their materials to be responsibly sourced or derived from recycled materials by 2025.
For instance, the timber in their sofa frames comes from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, they're working towards reducing their carbon emissions, improving packaging to be 100% recyclable, and respecting animal welfare.
Notably, their wool will be certified to the Responsible Wool Standard by 2023. Loaf also ensures that all their employees, or 'Loafers,' are paid at least the 'real' Living Wage.
Locations and Community Engagement
Presently, Loaf boasts ten showrooms, uniquely referred to as 'slowrooms,' mainly around London. Beyond just business, they're active in community engagement.
They have partnered with St Mungo's, a leading UK charity, aiming to spend 10,000 hours over the next three years volunteering and raising funds to combat homelessness.
