A classic Duresta Maximus with scatter cushions, re-upholstered in black Abraham Moon wool. The beautifully soft dark fabric makes this huge piece of furniture so inviting.

Duresta Lansdowne in Harris Tweed

Duresta, Sofa, Traditional, Wool

A pair of elegant Duresta Lansdowne sofas, this time re-upholstered in light and dark grey Harris Tweed herringbone wool. The rare character and beauty of Harris Tweed is attributable to the fact that it is the only fabric produced in commercial quantities by truly traditional methods anywhere in the world. The islanders of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra produce this luxury cloth entirely by hand. From start to finish the cloth is in the hands of skilled and experienced artisans who oversee every stage of production utilising generations of knowledge to produce a product worthy of the name Harris Tweed.
