Description
A right corner chaise adds extra space to stretch out on this Althaea sofa, with bouncy cushions and broad arms for a cocoon-like feel. Made by Swoon, it is upholstered in crushed velvet over a birch and ply frame for lasting support. It is made in the UK.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Swoon crushed velvet right corner sofa for its plush texture and versatile colour that pairs beautifully with both contemporary and classic interiors. Its cream tone offers a neutral base, making it easy to style with colourful cushions, throws, or statement artwork. This sofa works particularly well in bright, airy living rooms or more minimal spaces, where its tactile fabric adds a touch of luxury without overwhelming the decor. Practical styling tips include layering with textured cushions and adding a cosy throw to enhance its inviting feel. To keep it looking its best, opt for stain-resistant treatments and gentle cleaning routines-perfect for busy households that want style with practicality.

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.
