At Lounging Around we source, restore and re-upholster vintage, contemporary and classic high end sofas and armchairs. We have a wealth of combined experience in the worlds of architecture, interiors, advertising & graphics and love, live and breathe good design every day.
LA believe the quality of your environment both inside and out should be enriched by functional, responsive, sensuous design, ultimately built to last and withstand everday usage.
Old and new, vintage and modern, classic and contemporary... most of our stock is pre-owned and in fabulous as new or vintaged condition. We occasionally work with pieces from the past which are no longer produced. If not in fine condition, we restore and re-upholster bringing these pieces up to date in a luxuriously fitting modern manner. All our pieces boast individual character and quality simply unavailable from new, which combined bring a modern edge or heirloom factor to your living environment.
Due to the original craftmanship and build quality, we believe all our pieces have at least nine lives, . Hence we truly believe that such furniture deserves to enter a new era and perhaps one day carry a family heirloom legacy. The premise of our intervention in your future sofa's life story, is that Lounging Around won't just make it better... we'll simply make it the best it can be!

We love to get our fingers into a good hand dyeing job. A newly reupholstered neutral leather George Smith chair is our dream project. We don't just apply colour to flat surfaces, we look at each piece as a sculptural form, working the dye according to emphasize the lines or curvature of the piece. We also meticulously emphasise edges to create our truly vintaged appearance which so many of our returning clientele love so very much.

After much contemplation and from years of experience working with the finest sofas and chairs, it was a natural progression to fulfil a life long dream and produce our first sofa from the bones up. Our Woodsmoor is our the first bespoke hand dyed leather sofa, designed in the classic Howard style, with a solid oak dowelled frame and eight way hand tied fully coil sprung seating and back.
