Luxurious Designer Sofas to Style Your Living Room

As well as Darlings of Chelsea’s own beautiful, handcrafted sofas, some discerning buyers like to also consider designer sofas from world-renowned brands like Duresta, Terence Conran, and Harris Tweed. Each with a unique style, from classic curves to rugged highland lines, the sofas from these brands come with all of the quality and prestige associated with their designer.

Duresta Sofas

Duresta is an English company that has been manufacturing sofas since 1938 and continues to hand-assemble every sofa from hardwood. They specialise particularly in beautiful and unique fabrics, which they commission especially from the UK’s best mills, and their expert pattern-matching and seam-sewing skills ensure that the whole sofa displays the pattern to its best effect across all of the different components, including the back, arms and seat cushions. Duresta’s confidence in their craftsmanship is such that every piece comes with a 25-year guarantee.

All Duresta sofas are designed in their own studio, taking inspiration from contemporary and classic styles to consistently produces sofas that are unique, and uniquely beautiful.

Content by Terence Conran

Perhaps one of the most famous and fashionable sofa-designers in Britain, Terence Conran has been designing furniture for over 60 years and founded the Content range in 2003 to provide a relaxed and informal range of sofas for contemporary homes. Simple and comfortable, the range emphasises the use of natural and authentic materials that ensure each piece will last for years and improve with age. From the open, laid back Aspen range to the eye-catching spikes and curves of the Toros chair, each Terence Conran piece is an icon in its own right, and perfectly suited to modern, simple living.

Harris Tweed

Probably the world’s best-known fabric brand, Harris Tweed is the perfect covering for warm, comfortable, welcoming sofas. Handmade exclusively in the Outer Hebrides, the fabric is soft and comfortable, but also strong enough to withstand years of use and abuse by owners, children and pets. A number of Darlings of Chelsea’s own range of sofas are available covered with this iconic designer fabric.

Harris Tweed has a classic but unpretentious look that works wonderfully on traditional designs like the Skye sofa or even a Chesterfield but is also available in contemporary blues and greys that work in all sorts of modern spaces.
