Description
Design. Whether you’re looking for the perfect way to inspire a dull corner, or searching for an ultra-comfortable way to complete your man-cave, the Michigan Chair is a stunning stand-alone piece but can also be slipped right into industrial decors. With a two-tone distressed look that combines glorious leather textures that are accentuated by the dark bronze finish on its feet, the Michigan’s fixed foam and layered fibre cushion interiors are sumptuously soft, creating the ideal spot to sit back and unwind.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its versatile design and inviting silhouette, making it an excellent choice for both contemporary and traditional interiors. Its plush, neutral upholstery offers a cosy yet sophisticated look that works well in living rooms, studies, or smaller lounge areas. When styling, consider pairing it with contrasting textures like a patterned rug or metallic accents to add visual interest. Practical tips include placing it near a reading nook or accentuating it with a colourful throw or cushions for added comfort and personality. Its understated elegance makes it easy to incorporate into various colour schemes and decor styles, ensuring it’s both functional and stylish.

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.
