Price History
Description
Quilted leather is a classic, from English country jackets to motorbike leathers to vintage bags. The Mimi Quilt dining chair reinvents a classic 1940s French piece, richly clad in quilted hand-softened leather for a modern, textured look. With brass stud detailing and tapered wooden legs, this timeless style has a gently flared back and padded seat for added comfort, so you can chat for hours over dinner with friends.
Our Stylist Says
I love this chair for its blend of vintage charm and modern craftsmanship. The quilted leather adds elegance and texture, making it a versatile piece that works well in both classic and contemporary interiors. Its neutral bianco colour makes it easy to pair with a variety of table styles and colour schemes. When styling, consider pairing it with warm wood tones for a cosy, inviting look, or contrast it with sleek metallic accents for a more fashion-forward feel. Practical tips include using this chair in dining rooms that have ample natural light to highlight its craftsmanship or combining with other textured materials for added visual interest. Overall, it’s a refined choice that offers both comfort and style.

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.
