Price History
Description
The Barbican range features a distinct curved silhouette and stitched back detail for a retro inspired look, supported by fibre wrapped foam seats for extra comfort. 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 sleek, contemporary silhouette and timeless leather finish. It’s a versatile piece that effortlessly bridges modern and classic interiors, working especially well in minimalist, Scandinavian, or mid-century settings. The dark legs add a touch of sophistication and grounding, while the leather offers durability and ease of maintenance. For styling tips, consider pairing it with textured cushions or a cosy throw to soften the look and add visual interest. It’s equally at home in a living room corner for a cosy reading nook or as an accent piece in a larger, open-plan space. Its compact size makes it adaptable, but don’t be afraid to combine it with other leather or neutral-toned furniture for a cohesive, stylish look.

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.
