Description
With its smooth, curved lines and sophisticated details, the Lara velvet accent chair is a stylish choice. It's designed with sturdy ash wood legs in a natural hue for durability. The soft-touch fabric has been treated with stain defence for enhanced practicality. Piping on the edges ensures an elegant finish. We’re so confident our furniture is built to last, our industry-leading guarantee covers any manufacturing failure on all furniture. That’s our promise, and why our furniture comes with a 10-year guarantee that you can trust. Excludes: outdoor furniture and any issues that are a result of normal wear and tear, improper care or accidental damage.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its versatile design and the rich charcoal velvet finish, which adds a touch of sophistication to any space. It's perfect for both modern and traditional interiors, especially in cosy living rooms, reading nooks or even bedroom corners. The soft velvet fabric invites comfort, while the simple silhouette keeps it adaptable. For styling, try pairing the chair with textured cushions or a throw in contrasting tones-such as muted blush or warm browns-to add visual interest. Its compact size makes it a flexible addition, and elevating it with a small side table can turn it into a chic, functional spot for relaxing or reading.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
