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.

 

Armchair in check wool

The lambswool check fabric of this re-upholstered armchair is wonderfully warm and soft to the touch. This chair has an unusual feature, in that the front border runs the entire width of the chair, with only the facing piping running down over it. We also replaced the foam cushion with a feather cushion for a deeper seating position and enhanced comfort. The pattern of the check flows naturally from panel to panel.
