Price History
Description
Design. Taking inspiration from the legendary British fighter plane, the innovative Aviator Tomcat is modelled on the twin cockpit chair of the American F-14 Tomcat jet. Upholstered in soft vintage leather with curved, riveted aluminum arms, this chair is a comfortable yet striking choice.
Our Stylist Says
This armchair is a fantastic statement piece for both vintage-inspired and industrial interiors, thanks to its rugged leather and metal accents. I love how it combines classic leather upholstery with a bold, almost aviation-inspired frame, making it ideal for loft apartments, study corners, or even a masculine lounge. When styling, consider pairing it with muted tones or textured fabrics to highlight its artisan details. Practical tips include keeping accessories minimal around it to let its unique design shine, while adding a cozy throw or cushion can soften the look for a more inviting feel. Its robust construction and interesting mix of materials make it both stylish and functional for everyday use.

About Barker and Stonehouse
A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
