Description

The 9 gauge spring has changed to an 8 gauge in the corners of each sofa to stop you falling into the corner when sitting down, this will assist with prolonging the life of your sofa .
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its sleek, modern design and versatile silhouette, making it a great anchor piece in both contemporary and Scandinavian interiors. Its neutral grey tone offers flexibility, allowing it to pair effortlessly with colourful accessories or muted palettes. The high, cushioned back and slim armrests make it comfortable yet streamlined, while the tapered wooden legs add a touch of warmth and subtle sophistication. Practical styling tips include accessorising with textured cushions or throws for added comfort, and placing it against a patterned or textured wall for visual interest. It works particularly well in open-plan living rooms, lounges, or even in a small apartment setting where space and style need to be balanced.

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.
