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 love the Jonesy sofa for its classic, understated elegance and versatile design. It works particularly well in both modern and traditional interiors, offering a neutral base that can be styled with colourful cushions or throws for added personality. Its clean lines and neutral tone make it an adaptable piece that pairs effortlessly with various colour schemes and accessories. Practical styling tips include layering with textured textiles to add depth, or placing it in a light-filled living room to enhance its bright, fresh appearance. The simple wooden legs also bring a subtle touch of warmth, making it ideal for cosy, inviting spaces.

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.
