Description
Design. A sophisticated option that suits a multitude of homes, the Rene 2 Seater Sofa is a striking option for those who are attracted to a modern look. Mid-century influences are merged with contemporary design to deliver a soft to the touch sofa, available in a wide range of colours to suit different interior settings. With a contemporary look that is very on trend and built-in comfort, the Rene 2-Seater Sofa is the perfect choice.
Our Stylist Says
The Rene 2 Seater is a versatile choice that works well in a range of interiors, from modern minimalist spaces to more classic, cosy lounges. I love its clean lines and the deep, plush upholstery which invites relaxation. For styling, consider pairing it with textured cushions in complementary or contrasting colours to add visual interest or a throw for a welcoming touch. It’s also a practical piece-its size is perfect for smaller living rooms or paired with larger sofas for a more communal setting. To keep it looking its best, avoid overly busy patterns which can detract from its sleek silhouette, and instead focus on a curated selection of accessories to highlight its contemporary appeal.

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.
