Description
The perfect place to spend lazy Sundays, whether its curled up with a good book or laid back watching a movie, the Michigan Sofa is a simple way to add comfort and style to any space. Complete with two complementing leather textures and dark bronze finished iron feet, the Michigan has a distressed look that looks great in both industrial and rustic decors. Sumptuously filled with fixed foam and layered fibre, once your guests sit down, they’ll never want to leave.
Our Stylist Says
The Michigan sofa is a versatile piece that lends itself well to both contemporary and classic interiors, thanks to its sleek lines and elegant silhouette. I love how its understated design allows it to complement a variety of colour schemes and accessories, making it a flexible foundation for your living space. Practical styling tips include pairing it with textured throws and cushions in contrasting fabrics to add depth, or layering with other muted tones and metallic accents for a more sophisticated look. Its slender legs give it a light, airy feel, so it works particularly well in rooms where space is limited, but it can also serve as a statement piece in larger, more open interiors.

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.
