We bought the 'Norber' sofa, which aren't advertised on the internet, but the Birkrigg is the closest to it in the range. Both of the sofas are superbly comfortable and lovely to the touch as they are made from completely natural materials and are not treated with nasty chemicals. The range of fabrics to choose from is just fabulous, along with the type of internal cushioning to cover anything from super soft to firm seating. It's been a pleasure to deal with Slow sofa and I highly recommend them.

We are absolutely in awe of our 2.5 seater Owlet sofa and chair made by Slow Sofa. The service provided by Sally & Simon is very high standard and they are happy to accommodate a range of bespoke requests. We enquired as to whether they could make us a piano bench with the same wood & fabric as the sofa which they arranged to be expertly crafted & delivered at the same time. We couldn't be happier with all 3 pieces which are of superb quality and I wouldn't hesitate to contact Slow Sofa for future custom furniture ideas for our home. Thank you for a brilliant experience and for such gorgeous furniture!

Inspiring company creating beautiful sofas and chairs that won't kill you and ruin the planet! We are so happy with our Laraber, it is stunning and the quality is perfect. Lovely to talk to the team as well and plan it together - their advice on fabrics and sofa styles was invaluable, thank you! #sofaforlife

I am delighted with my Kalkabar sofa, chair, footstool and cushions designed, crafted by the team at Slow Sofa. A big thank you to Simon and Sally for their support and kindness through the process. I highly recommend Slow Sofa for the craftsmanship displayed.

A belated review to express great appreciation and thanks to the Slow Sofa team - from start to finish their customer service was outstanding! Ordering two sofas without setting eyes on them (or trying them out) first was a huge gamble, but the Slow team answered all our questions with great care and, when we had a slight issue on delivery with the seat angle, they came all the way to London to make a small correction that made them perfect. The sofas are STUNNING, incredibly comfortable, they feel so sturdy and robust, they didn’t smell (like so many new furnishings do), and we love that neither us or our kids are being exposed to forever chemicals! Couldn’t have asked for more!
