Product Information A curved silhouette. Strong, angular wooden legs. Design details Back cushion details Fibre wrapped foam seats Oak legs Designer's notesThe epitome of mid-century design, our Barbican range offers a retro-inspired option for your home. A distinctive shape with sharp, angled wooden legs and a curving base. Medium: Striking a balance between support and comfort, this range has a medium comfort rating. With a structured design to help retain shape, these sofa cushions retain more of their shape when sat on, and require less plumping. 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 John Lewis Barbican sofa for its timeless, understated style that works well in both classic and contemporary interiors. Its dark leather finish adds a touch of sophistication and durability, making it suitable for everyday living. It pairs effortlessly with a range of colour schemes-from crisp whites and neutrals to richer jewel tones-and looks great styled with textured cushions or throws for added comfort. Practical tips include keeping the look minimal for a sleek vibe or layering with vintage or statement accessories to inject personality. Its clean lines and compact size make it versatile for smaller living rooms or open plan spaces, and the dark legs ground the piece, giving it a slightly elevated, modern feel.

About John Lewis
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.
