Description
Design. Yet another distinctive and eye-catching piece from Timothy Oulton, the Shabby 1 Seater is inspired by the Nowis Chair of designer Michael Yeung, a close collaborator with Timothy Oulton himself. Mastering relaxed, rustic charm in natural leather upholstery and a laid back design that is evident throughout this charming range, the Shabby 1 Seater features ribbed stitch detailing that showcases its generous cushioning - making it even more inviting.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its relaxed, vintage-inspired look that adds character to a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in eclectic, industrial, or shabby-chic spaces where its well-loved leather finish enhances a sense of authenticity and comfort. Practical styling tips include pairing it with textured throw pillows and soft blankets to soften its robust silhouette, while mixing it with other vintage finds or modern accessories can create a balanced, layered aesthetic. Since it’s a versatile piece, it can anchor a cosy corner in a living room or serve as a statement seat in a lounge, making it both functional and stylish.

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.
