Description
A relaxed and spacious seating solution that works well in a range of interior styles, the Sorrento Sofa is sure to be the topic of talk among guests. Apart from its cosy foam, fibre and feather cushion interiors, the Sorrento’s clean lined frame and high tapered legs bring plenty of modern style to the table – while its handy, adjustable arm cushions mean there’s always a little extra comfort close at hand. With cool blue leather that offers a characterful finish, the Sorrento is ideal for various decors, be it a contemporary living spaces or an urban-industrial inspiration.
Our Stylist Says
This Sorrento Leather Sofa is a versatile piece that works beautifully in both modern and classic interiors. I love its sleek, structured design paired with the rich Fairfax Marine leather, which adds a sophisticated yet approachable feel. It’s practically suited to contemporary spaces, but with a few styling tweaks-such as layered textured cushions or a cosy throw-it can also complement more traditional or eclectic settings. To elevate the look, consider pairing it with wooden or brass accents and adding soft rugs or artwork to create a balanced, inviting lounge. Practical tip: since it’s leather, it’s low maintenance and ages well over time, making it a smart investment for spaces that see regular use.

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.
