Description
Making a bold yet beautiful statement with its colour-blocking aesthetic, the Fern large sofa suits a range of interior styles. The perfect blend of eye-catching hues and signature pattern, it is sharp and playful with iconic retro influence at its heart. As comfortable as it is striking, the sofa benefits from foam filled seats and fibre back cushioning to ensure every lounging experience is enjoyable. Echoing mid-century design with its clean and simple shape, the Fern sits upon slim splayed legs that maximise space. Duck feather scatters add the perfect finishing touch, dressed in your choice of stunning prints that beautifully complement the upholstery.

Our Stylist Says
The Orla Kiely Fern Large Sofa is a vibrant piece that offers a real pop of colour and pattern, making it perfect for adding personality to modern or eclectic interiors. I love how the multi-coloured upholstered sections lend themselves to playful styling - pair it with bold accessories or muted walls to keep the focus on the sofa. It works well in contemporary spaces or even in vintage-inspired settings, where its quirky charm can shine. Practical tips include keeping surrounding décor relatively simple to avoid competing with its bold design, and using cushions in complementary colours or patterns to tie the look together. Its character makes it a statement piece, so don’t be afraid to balance its boldness with more understated furniture and accessories.

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.
