The Story Behind This Sofa
A bespoke sofa order runs through five stages, and knowing them removes most of the anxiety of spending this kind of money on something that does not yet exist.
First, the brief: your room dimensions, total seat count, who uses the room and how, and any constraint like a narrow staircase. Second, the drawing: we return a scaled layout showing each piece, its footprint and the set arrangement, so you can see the sofa in your room before committing. Third, materials: timber is selected and seasoned, fabric swatches are sent physically rather than shown on a screen, because no photograph reproduces colour reliably.
Fourth, the build - carving, then finishing, then upholstery, with progress photographs at each stage so nothing is a surprise at the end. Fifth, delivery and placement by our own team.
The one thing that cannot be compressed is drying and curing time between finishing coats. Rushing it is the single most common cause of a finish that fails within two years, so we do not.
