Jonesy Sofa
£2,095
Price History
Description
What makes our version of this timeless British classic different are the weathered oak legs. Not a brass castor so much as even sniffs near this handmade beauty. And it's also one of the snuggliest, comfiest sofas in town.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Jonesy sofa for its versatile and classic design, making it suitable for a range of interiors from traditional to modern minimalism. Its understated profile and rich upholstery give it a timeless appeal, while the neutral colour makes it easy to accessorise. This piece works particularly well in cosy living rooms or open-plan spaces where it can be styled with layered textiles, such as throw blankets and cushions, for added comfort. For practical styling tips, pair it with low coffee tables and sleek side tables to keep the space feeling uncluttered. Its simple shape also lends itself well to occasional reinterpretations with colourful or textured cushions, which can easily refresh its look over time.

About Loaf
From Beds to Diverse Furniture
Loaf is a popular British furniture store that started as "The Sleep Room" by Charlie Marshall in 2008. Charlie used money from selling his old business and his savings to start it.
At first, they just sold beds, with Charlie researching 187 mattress and bed factories to ensure only the best products. But by 2012, they began selling other furniture like sofas, chairs, and lights, which led to its rebranding as "Loaf."
Their growth was so impressive that by 2013, they ranked 40th on the Sunday Times Fast Track 100, becoming the 3rd fastest growing retailer in the UK.
Sustainability and Ethical Approach
Loaf's commitment to the environment and ethical practices is evident in their efforts to ensure sustainable sourcing. They aim for all their materials to be responsibly sourced or derived from recycled materials by 2025.
For instance, the timber in their sofa frames comes from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, they're working towards reducing their carbon emissions, improving packaging to be 100% recyclable, and respecting animal welfare.
Notably, their wool will be certified to the Responsible Wool Standard by 2023. Loaf also ensures that all their employees, or 'Loafers,' are paid at least the 'real' Living Wage.
Locations and Community Engagement
Presently, Loaf boasts ten showrooms, uniquely referred to as 'slowrooms,' mainly around London. Beyond just business, they're active in community engagement.
They have partnered with St Mungo's, a leading UK charity, aiming to spend 10,000 hours over the next three years volunteering and raising funds to combat homelessness.
