Price History
Description
Defined by its distinctly urban edge, the Lars armchair is beautifully upholstered in European leather that’s been expertly treated with wax and oil for a sturdy, stain-resistant and surprisingly soft finish. Made for sinking into, the chair’s deep seat benefits from incredibly comfortable foam and fibre filling. Stylish ribbed stitching throughout creates a cool and contemporary look, while the natural charm of rich leather brings it back down to earth. Rustic, industrial or pared-back, the Lars armchair can do it all.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its classic, effortlessly versatile look. The leather finish adds a touch of sophistication, making it a great focal piece in both contemporary and traditional interiors. It works particularly well in cosy living rooms, study areas, or even as a statement piece in a larger open-plan space. For styling tips, pair it with textured cushions and a soft throw to soften the leather and add comfort. In terms of placement, positioning it near a coffee table or beside a statement lamp can create a welcoming and functional seating nook. Its neutral tone makes it quite adaptable, so it can be styled with colour accents or kept minimalist for a clean, understated look.

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.
