An instinctive approach
The starting point wasn’t a fabric, but a feeling. Skye wanted a sofa that felt joyful, comfortable and like it had always been there. She arrived with a box of inspiration - papers, ribbons, photographs from Venice - fragments that captured the atmosphere she wanted to create.
From feeling to fabrics
Together with her design consultant, Skye explored her love of “ice-cream colours” and fabrics that soften with time. She selected linen for its relaxed, lived-in quality, in a sorbet-pink shade finished with rich red velvet piping.
Skye’s Haresfield sofa
The model Skye chose was the Haresfield, a fresh interpretation of the classic buttoned Chesterfield with narrow, dipped arms and a deep cushioned seat. It’s a sofa she describes as “a hug” - somewhere to curl up with family at the end of the day.
The sofa at home
In Skye’s living room, the new sofa sits comfortably among pieces she already lives with. Bespoke scatter cushions were made in the same floral fabric as her existing sofa - a choice that helped connect old and new. It shows how personalisation can build thoughtfully on what’s already there.
