The Design

Straight lines, easy living

The Athens is for rooms that like order. Its linear profile keeps every edge clean and every seam purposeful, so the sofa reads as one calm, considered shape rather than a collection of cushions. Set against a plain wall or in the middle of an open-plan space, it anchors the room without shouting.

Straight does not mean stiff. The seat is deep and the back is softly filled, so you can sit upright with a laptop or slide down for a film and the Athens supports you either way.

The premium textured weave brings warmth and subtle movement to the straight lines, in seven colours across the Alaska and Plush ranges: calm Pearl and Cream, versatile Beige and Grey, and deeper Blue, Olive and Coal. The sofa pictured is Plush Grey.

1 · Hardwood Frame

A rigid solid hardwood frame gives the Athens its straight, square-edged shape and keeps it true through years of everyday family use.

2 · Supportive Seat Platform

A supportive seat platform gives gently as you sit and recovers as you rise, spreading weight evenly across the seat so it does not dip where you sit most.

3 · Foam Cushions

High-resilience foam cushions resist flattening and hold their clean edges, finished with a softer comfort layer so the seat still feels welcoming.

The Craft

Made by hand, in the UK, to your order

Your Athens is not pulled from a warehouse shelf. It is made to order by skilled hands in the UK, and a linear sofa is unforgiving of shortcuts: every edge has to run straight, every seam has to sit square, and the cushions have to fill the frame exactly.

That is what made to order gives you. Choose your configuration, choose your colour, and your sofa is built to that specification, backed by a 24-month warranty.

It is a sofa built for the everyday life of your home, not just for the photograph.

Five Configurations

A 2 Seater, a 3 Seater, a 3+2 Seater set for the whole household, or a Left or Right Corner Sofa to make the most of an open-plan room.

Seven Colours

Alaska Beige, Coal and Pearl plus Plush Blue, Cream, Grey and Olive, all in the same premium textured weave, with free samples by post.

Easy-Care Weave

Textured weaves are wonderfully practical: a gentle vacuum lifts dust from the weave, and spills blot away when dealt with promptly.

Lasting Comfort

A hardwood frame, supportive seat platform and high-resilience foam working together, so the seat feels as inviting in year five as it does on day one.

3+2 Seater set: the set is the 3 Seater and 2 Seater above, delivered together in the same fabric.

Corner Sofa: the Left and Right Corner Sofa share the same 90cm depth, 95cm overall height and 72cm arm height. Our team will confirm the overall footprint of your corner configuration before it goes into production.

Will it fit into your room? Before you order, measure the width of your doorways, hallways and any stairs or tight turns on the route in. Corner sofas arrive as separate sections, which makes access easier than the finished size suggests. Our measuring guide shows the method, and if access looks tight, contact our team and we will help you check before your sofa goes into production.
