Description
Design. An Edwardian style chesterfield sofa with elegant curves and simple lines, both understated and stylish. This collection will complement any décor as it has a timeless quality that you will appreciate for many years. Combining Tetrads signature expert craftsmanship with the hard wearing and prestigious Harris Tweed creates a collection which exudes quality and style whilst also typifying just what makes Britain great - that wonderful sense of heritage, quality and tradition.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its classic yet versatile appeal. The Harris Tweed fabric adds a cosy, textured feel that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary settings. It’s a great choice for a neutral scheme, as it pairs effortlessly with earth tones, muted colours, or even bold accents for contrast. To style it effectively, consider adding layered cushions in fabrics like velvet or linen to create depth and comfort. It’s ideal for a lived-in family space or a cosy reading nook, especially when combined with wooden or vintage-inspired furniture. Because of its compact size, it’s perfect for smaller rooms or as a conversational piece in open-plan areas, while still offering plenty of comfort.

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.
