Working in partnership with The Reuse NetworkWe're proud to work with The Reuse Network, an organisation that supports reuse charities across the UK who aim to alleviate poverty, reduce waste, tackle climate change and support vulnerable people and communities. We donate old sofas we no longer need, like those used as display models on our shopfloors, and we can also donate yours too on your behalf. We've been donating for over 10 years and in that time have collected over 47,000 sofas and supported over 13,000 households. When you order a new sofa in one of our shops ask a Partner about how to donate your old sofa, or check the Sofa Reuse box when ordering online. For a small fee we'll collect your pre-loved sofa and make sure it goes somewhere it's really needed, rather than ending up in landfill. It's the little thingsWe care about our furniture; how it's designed, the materials used and the people who make it. That's why every detail is carefully considered, with more than 20 quality checks, to ensure you're as proud of it as we are. Try before you buyWe're confident in our furniture's quality, but it's always a good idea to check that it's a good personal fit for you.

Our Stylist Says
The John Lewis Barbican offers a timeless, versatile style that works well in both contemporary and classic interiors. I love its structured silhouette and deep navy colour, which add a sophisticated touch without overpowering the space. This sofa pairs beautifully with neutral tones for a crisp, modern look or with textured cushions and throws to create a cosy, inviting feel. When styling, consider layering with contrasting metals or wooden accents to enhance its dark legs and overall aesthetic. It’s practical too, with a sturdy build that’s comfortable for everyday use, making it a reliable choice for both family rooms and more formal lounges.

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.
