Its supportive seat and gently tufted backrest offer a cosy and refined place to relax. Upholstered in durable, high quality fabric, itrsquo;s built for everyday use without compromising on elegance. Finished with sleek tapered legs, this armchair brings a touch of sophistication to your space, whether used on its own or with the full Ebben range.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Ebben armchair for adding instant visual interest to a room. Its bold, graphic pattern makes it an eye-catching statement piece, perfect for contemporary or eclectic interiors. It works well as an accent in living rooms, bedrooms, or even a stylish home office. For styling tips, try pairing it with neutral or monochrome interiors to let the pattern stand out, or mix it with other textures and colours for a more layered look. Since the fabric is quite striking, keep surrounding accessories minimal to maintain balance - a sleek side table or a simple throw can really complete the setup. Overall, this chair is both functional and fashion-forward, making it a versatile addition to many spaces.

About Barker and Stonehouse
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.
