Price History
Description
A modern twist on a classic shape, Chester features deep, feather-wrapped seat cushions and buttoned back detailing for an inviting sit, finished with brass-capped tapered legs. 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 the Chester leather sofa for its classic yet versatile design, offering a sophisticated anchor to both traditional and modern interiors. Its dark legs and sleek leather finish make it a practical choice for busy households, as it’s durable and ages well with use. It works particularly well in minimalist, contemporary, or industrial spaces, where its clean lines can be the focal point. Styling tips include pairing it with textured cushions or throws to soften the look, or blending it with natural materials like wood and linen for a balanced, inviting vibe. For added practicality, consider coordinating with neutral or muted colour schemes to keep the look timeless and easy to update over time.

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.
