design news People: David Robinson “From my early days as Marketing Director of a small fashion house I had a natural eye for the style people wanted to achieve,” says David Robinson, founder of the Original Sofa Company (above). “The Chesterfield sofa is probably one of the most iconic statements of design that we have ever known. This is why it still lives as strongly today as it did 150 years ago. Of course, as with many things, we know that there are ‘Chesterfields in style’ and then there are ‘real Chesterfields’. It is the latter that we endeavour to craft for our clients at The Original Sofa Co. Ltd”. “Now, 13 years on, we have amassed a very comprehensive stock of all manner of Chesterfields. From the luxury of our new Signature range to the character of a 150-year-old antique, we have it all.” Based in north-east England, The Original Sofa Co. Ltd is a well established business specialising in Chesterfield sofas and chairs. From iconic wing back Queen Anne chairs, to a 12ft deep buttoned Chesterfield, there really is no shortage of options.
