Salthrop, large sofa
John Lewis x Sophie Conran · £4,699
Worth being NRY provisional
£4,699, the most expensive here by £1,914, designed and handcrafted in Britain in a Cornish blue stripe. British manufacture is the thing to notice: almost nothing at any price in this category is still made here, and a sofa built in Britain can be re-covered and re-sprung in Britain in twenty years. That is what the money is for.
- For
- Someone buying the last sofa they intend to buy, and who will have it re-covered rather than replaced.
- Not for
- Anyone who changes their interior every few years: this is a commitment.
What we checked
- Designed and handcrafted in Britain, combining generosity, comfort and tradition. John Lewis
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
