EDWARD SOFA

Edward is a Chesterfield on legs. The back and the inside of the arms are deeply buttoned in the traditional way, and the rolled arms rise almost to the height of the back. Below the seat, though, the base is plain, and the sofa stands on tapered legs with metal tips rather than on bun feet — which makes it look lighter than its 280 cm suggest. Shown in taupe, dark brown and metallic bronze leather.

Plain seat, tufted back

On Edward the buttoning stops at the back and arms. The seat is two broad, plain cushions and the front rail is smooth, so the tufted back becomes the feature and the seat is softer than on a Chesterfield buttoned all over. On the dark brown version a line of nailheads follows the arm fronts.

The bronze option

One of the versions above is a metallic bronze leather — a finish with a metal pigment in the top coat that shifts with the light. It is the least conventional hide we offer on a classical form, and it is the reason this model turns up in hospitality projects more often than in homes. The taupe and dark brown versions are the quiet alternatives.

Construction

Kiln-dried beech frame, hand-assembled. Buttons pulled and tied by hand; high-resilience foam under the tufting to hold the diamonds square. Upholstered to order from seventy-six leather shades across twelve colour groups, or in fabric; leather is always genuine. Stitching and cushion detail chosen at the time of order.

Sizes

Edward is made in two widths only — 280 and 215 cm, both listed above. There is no standard single seat in this model; a matching chair can be built to order, or pair it with an armchair from the same leather batch. Widths and depth are adjustable per project.

Where it belongs

A hotel lobby, a bar, a large living room, an executive office. Raised on legs with a plain base, it looks lighter than a Chesterfield on bun feet, so it also suits rooms where a traditional one would feel too heavy.
