A left hand chaise adds extra space to stretch out on this corner sofa, with bouncy cushions and broad arms for a cocoon like feel. It is upholstered in velvet over a birch and ply frame, designed by Swoon, for lasting support. It is made in the UK.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Swoon Easy Velvet left corner, it’s a versatile piece that works well in both contemporary and more relaxed interiors. The warm brown shade adds a cosy feel without overwhelming the space, making it perfect for neutral or muted colour schemes. Its velvet finish brings a touch of luxury and textural interest, which can be styled easily with patterned cushions or throws for added personality. Practical styling tips include pairing it with minimalist or Scandinavian decor - keeping accessories understated lets the sofa be the centrepiece. Additionally, placing it near a corner with good natural light enhances its rich texture, while the generous corner section makes it ideal for both lounging and entertaining.

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.
