Being a resolutely English company we are very well aware of our furniture heritage and on occasion have been known to name an antecedent. This is not to claim any kind of lineage but rather to acknowledge our debt to what has gone before. We would rather be on the shoulders of giants than under their feet. Chippendale was such a giant, a cabinet maker and furniture designer who is still remembered and revered 230 odd years after his death. Chippendale practically invented the sofa, at least in England, a seat wide enough to accommodate a hooped skirt or a single person and chaperone. The Phyfe is our tribute to his most persistent camel back design, a hybrid of faithful proportion, skilful manufacture and modern materials. It is beautiful to behold and comfortable to sit on. This is no reproduction or compromise, this is our loving paean to one of the greatest sofa designs ever.
