Welbeck

How do you design a square sofa that doesn’t look like every other square sofa? How do you make it obviously different without actually adding anything unnecessary? The beauty of the Welbeck is that nothing is superfluous, the arms are wide but so are the cushions, there are no visible feet, the sofa seems to float, sitting as it does on hidden rails. The body has no added detail but the cushions are piped, everything is held in perfect balance, creating a large sofa that never overwhelms, never dominates. Of course this balance could be problematic if you require a smaller model or a chair so that is why we make them with slimmer arms so that the proportion is maintained. The Welbeck is the perfect family sofa, looks great in a colour and is also available as a made to measure corner system.

Due to a physical limitation that prevents him from blowing his own trumpet Richard Baker is quite possibly the best furniture designer you’ve never heard of. Born in 1961, the year of the E-Type Jaguar and the son of a renowned English furniture maker, it was obvious from an early age that Richard had a burning desire not to do what his father did. However, after gaining a bunch of 5's in his CSE's, failing to finish box construction at technical college and getting fired from a men’s clothing emporium for wearing the wrong trousers his father decided he needed a course correction and put him to work in his factory sanding an infinite number of chair legs. So enamoured was Richard of his dusty new vocation that he ran away to Australia and thrived as a low achiever, he didn't look back, until he did. Having learnt the wisdom of actors, Richard returned to England and accepted his father's invisible cloak of credibility and so attired wrestled some cash from a hapless bank and with his wife Libby opened Rume, a furniture store with Richard as the creative director, which is a made up title that people without any qualifications use. Coming to terms with his imposter syndrome but not overcoming it Richard was surprised to discover that other people thought he was actually rather good at designing furniture, so he kept doing it and still does.
