Description
Sweep is a perfect compact sofa range with clean lines and tailored twin seam detail on the slim arms. House by John Lewis is designed to be at the heart of a contemporary home: well thought out, well made and surprisingly affordable. The feel is modern and uncluttered, useful products you’ll love to live with. Worth knowing…. As leather is a natural product, there are natural characteristics on each leather hide used to make our sofas. These could be things like brand marks, insect bites or wrinkles. A large sofa could be made with as many as four hides so there may also be some slight colour variation, however, we have strict guidelines to make sure any noticeable marks aren't in a prominent place. These distinctive qualities also mean that no two pieces of leather furniture will be exactly the same.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its classic yet contemporary appeal, which makes it versatile for a range of interiors. The dark leather adds a sense of sophistication and durability, making it practical for both everyday living and more polished settings. It works particularly well in modern or minimalist schemes, where its clean lines can shine, but it can also warm up eclectic or traditional spaces with its timeless leather finish. Practical styling tips include pairing it with textured cushions or a cosy throw to soften its sleek silhouette. Additionally, placing it beside a side table with a statement lamp can create a welcoming nook for reading or relaxing. Its understated yet refined look makes it a stylish, functional choice for living rooms or home dens.

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.
