Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its bold colour and elegant gold legs, which add a touch of glamour without feeling overly formal. It works particularly well in contemporary or eclectic interiors, where it can serve as a statement piece. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with neutral or soft-toned accessories to let the green pop, or contrast it with textured cushions and throws for added warmth and depth. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller living rooms or as a secondary seating area, and the plush tufted back adds both visual interest and comfort. For practicality, keep accessories and decor simple around it to let the sofa remain the focal point.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
