Price History
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. From Swoon, it is upholstered in velvet over a birch and ply frame for lasting support. It is made in the UK.
Our Stylist Says
I love this corner sofa for its vibrant green velvet, which adds a rich, luxurious feel to any space. It works particularly well in modern or eclectic interiors where bold colour accents are welcome, but it can also elevate neutral schemes when paired with textured cushions and metallic accessories. Practical styling tips include layering with patterned or contrasting cushions for added comfort and visual interest, and keeping surrounding decor simple to let the sofa be the focal point. Its generous size makes it perfect for family rooms or open-plan living areas, and the velvet fabric lends a sophisticated touch that remains practical with regular maintenance.

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.
