Description
For an eye-catching statement for your home or garden, designer Philippe Starck’s Kartell Bubble Sofa will do just that. This piece is made from smooth batch-dyed polyethylene in Kartell’s signature moulded plastic design, making it soft to touch yet easy to wipe down. Display as a singular feature or pair with the Kartell Bubble Armchair for a quirky and imaginative look.
Our Stylist Says
The bubble sofa in light grey offers a contemporary twist on classic sofa shapes, making it a versatile piece for modern interiors. I love how its sculptural form adds visual interest without overwhelming a space, perfect for open-plan living or paired with minimalist design schemes. It works well in neutral palettes but can also serve as a statement piece in more eclectic or colour-rich settings. For styling, consider adding textured cushions or throws to soften the look, or placing it alongside sleek coffee tables and subtle accessories to enhance its playful, contemporary character. Practical tip: its solid colour makes it easy to update with different textiles over time to keep the look fresh.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
