Price History
Description
Bringing glamour and sophistication to mealtimes, the Kora sideboard makes a grand statement in both modern and traditional spaces. Hints of mid-century are evident in its simple form and splayed legs, whilst a complex blockwork design details the doors in a wonderfully 3D profile. Subtle yet stylish, the sideboard features brass detailing to its legs and handles, enlivening the look and providing added definition. Made from solid wood and built to last, the natural beauty of its Sheesham body is showcased to the full, displaying rich tones, unique markings and gorgeous grain patterns in each surface. Pairing perfectly with the coordinating Kora dining table, the Kora sideboard features a spacious interior with fixed shelf for practicality.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Kora sideboard for its distinctive textural appeal-its Sheesham wood construction offers natural warmth and a rich, earthy tone that really enhances both modern and eclectic interiors. It works especially well in mid-century-inspired or Scandinavian spaces, where the natural wood can serve as a statement piece. Practical styling tips include keeping the top surface relatively uncluttered for functionality, while adding a few curated decorative items or a statement lamp to highlight its unique texture. Inside, it’s perfect for organising tableware or media essentials, making it not only stylish but also highly functional. Its balanced proportion and leg design give it a contemporary edge, making it a versatile addition across various settings.

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.
