Description
Slowcoach: 'a person who takes it easy and likes to dawdle'. If that's you, this sofa's got your laid-back vibe written all over it.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its classic yet understated design, making it a versatile piece that can work well in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Its neutral upholstery makes it easy to incorporate into various colour schemes, whether you prefer a minimalist look or a more layered, textured space. For styling, consider pairing it with a cosy throw or a patterned cushion to add personal flair without overwhelming its clean silhouette. It's perfect in a lounge or reading nook, especially when styled with a small side table and a floor lamp for an inviting, relaxing corner. The overall shape and neutral tone enable it to complement diverse settings while delivering solid comfort and timeless appeal.

About Loaf
From Beds to Diverse Furniture
Loaf is a popular British furniture store that started as "The Sleep Room" by Charlie Marshall in 2008. Charlie used money from selling his old business and his savings to start it.
At first, they just sold beds, with Charlie researching 187 mattress and bed factories to ensure only the best products. But by 2012, they began selling other furniture like sofas, chairs, and lights, which led to its rebranding as "Loaf."
Their growth was so impressive that by 2013, they ranked 40th on the Sunday Times Fast Track 100, becoming the 3rd fastest growing retailer in the UK.
Sustainability and Ethical Approach
Loaf's commitment to the environment and ethical practices is evident in their efforts to ensure sustainable sourcing. They aim for all their materials to be responsibly sourced or derived from recycled materials by 2025.
For instance, the timber in their sofa frames comes from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, they're working towards reducing their carbon emissions, improving packaging to be 100% recyclable, and respecting animal welfare.
Notably, their wool will be certified to the Responsible Wool Standard by 2023. Loaf also ensures that all their employees, or 'Loafers,' are paid at least the 'real' Living Wage.
Locations and Community Engagement
Presently, Loaf boasts ten showrooms, uniquely referred to as 'slowrooms,' mainly around London. Beyond just business, they're active in community engagement.
They have partnered with St Mungo's, a leading UK charity, aiming to spend 10,000 hours over the next three years volunteering and raising funds to combat homelessness.
