“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.
