Price History
Description
Native to West Africa, fiddle plants only grow in humid and sunny conditions. Fortunately, for those living in cooler climates, our extra-large faux version is easier to care for and looks incredibly realistic, too. With expressive, violin-shaped leaves and textured "bark", this beautiful rainforest plant brings a tropical twist to your scheme.
Our Stylist Says
This sofa is a versatile piece that works well in both contemporary and transitional interiors thanks to its clean lines and understated design. I love the grey fabric as it’s neutral and easy to pair with other colours, allowing you to personalise the space with bold cushions or throws for added texture. For styling, consider layering with patterned or coloured cushions to add visual interest, and place a cosy rug underneath to soften the overall look. Its generous size makes it ideal for family rooms or open-plan living areas, where comfort and practicality are key. The neutral tone also offers flexibility, meaning it can be complemented by lots of different colour schemes and decor styles.

About Barker and Stonehouse
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.
