Our Stylist Says
This sofa is a fantastic statement piece, especially if you’re after a generous, comfortable focal point in your living space. I love its bold colour and clean lines, which work well in both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. It’s versatile enough to be styled with patterned cushions or kept minimal with neutral tones for a more modern look. Practical styling tips include pairing it with a textured rug like the one in the photo, adding a statement lamp for cosy evenings, and choosing accessories that complement its rich hue. This piece looks particularly great in larger rooms, where its extra size can be appreciated without overwhelming the space.

About Arighi Bianchi
A Landmark Store with a Rich Heritage
At the heart of the brand is its iconic four-storey showroom in Macclesfield - a Grade II* listed building inspired by the Crystal Palace - which has become a destination for interior enthusiasts across the UK. Over generations, the family-run business has built a reputation for quality, even supplying furniture to British royalty in its early years.

Today, Arighi Bianchi offers far more than furniture. Its collections span sofas, dining furniture, beds, lighting, flooring, soft furnishings and accessories, alongside carefully selected brands such as Vispring, Ercol and Stressless. This curated, multi-brand approach allows customers to create cohesive interiors that blend timeless elegance with contemporary style.
From Furniture Store to Lifestyle Destination
In recent years, Arighi Bianchi has evolved beyond traditional retail into a broader lifestyle experience - incorporating in-store design inspiration, curated accessory spaces and even a café to create a more immersive shopping environment. This shift reflects a modern focus on experiential retail, appealing to a new generation of homeowners while staying true to its heritage.
