Deriving inspiration from the grand London Gentlemen’s clubs of St James’, the Lansdowne is one of Duresta’s traditional classics. The low arm sweeps beautifully from front to back. We re-upholstered a pair of these wonderful pieces in super soft pewter grey wool from Art Of The Loom.

Duresta Lansdowne in Harris Tweed
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.

Art Deco sofa in turquoise velvet
At KRS we are priveleged to work on some wonderful furniture, but there are times when a piece comes in which really stands out. This sofa is one of those statement pieces. It has definite nods to the Art Deco style, and we estimate it to be an early example from that period. We’ve re-upholstered it in a vibrant turquoise velvet. It’s not hard to imagine the bright young things of the 1920’s taking a seat, sipping a mint julep and enjoying the good times while they lasted!
