Price History
Description
This Seattle sofa from Swoon is finished with a left corner chaise for flexible, relaxed seating. Deep seat cushions and soft armrests add to the comfortable feel. Crushed velvet upholstery gives a plush, tactile finish, while a birch and plywood frame provides sturdy, lasting support.
Our Stylist Says
I love this corner sofa for its plush crushed velvet finish, which adds a touch of luxe without feeling overly formal. The cream hue makes it versatile, working well in both modern and transitional interiors. It’s particularly suited to relaxed, cosy living rooms or open-plan spaces where comfort is key. A practical styling tip would be pairing it with textured throws or cushions in neutral or soft pastel shades to enhance its tactile appeal. To keep it looking pristine, opt for washable cushion covers and consider placing it on a low-pile rug to anchor the seating area. Overall, it’s a great investment piece that balances comfort and style perfectly.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
