Description
Smart, tailored lines and gently contoured arms give The Sixty Eight a compact, contemporary form with a hint of vintage style. Distinctive turned wooden feet reflect signature G Plan design. In collaboration with Hemingway Design we've created G Plan Vintage, a stunning range of furniture inspired by classic G Plan sofas and chairs from the 50s and 60s. Named after the year of the original model that influenced the current designs, they blend timeless details with a contemporary approach. It's a collection that embraces the quality and craftsmanship of G Plan, as well as Hemingway's fresh and vibrant approach to vintage projects.

Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its versatile vintage appeal and approachable size, making it ideal for smaller living spaces or cosy corners. The modest 2-seater scale means it fits well in both contemporary and traditional interiors, especially if you’re aiming for a nostalgic, mid-century look. To style around it, consider pairing with textured throws or patterned cushions to add layers of interest without overwhelming its clean lines. Neutral upholstery like this works wonderfully with bold accent colours or subtle pastels, and complementing wooden or brass accents can elevate its vintage charm. Practical tips include mixing modern accessories with antique or retro pieces for a balanced aesthetic that’s both stylish and functional.

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.
