Sarah’s favourite Kingcome sofa…The Fairfax Loose Cover Sofa. Elegant, relaxed, and handmade in Devon.
“ What I love about the Fairfax Loose Cover Sofa is its effortless elegance. It has such a relaxed look, the kind of design that feels just as comfortable in a modern space as it does in a more traditional home.
In the showroom we show it in soft white linen, which really highlights its graceful proportions. But our in-house fabric range includes some wonderful shades too, warm, earthy autumnal tones and deeper colours. A personal favourite of mine is the 100% linen in Pine. It’s a rich green that, in certain light, almost appears charcoal. I think it gives the Fairfax such a sophisticated depth.
Beyond the fabric, what really stands out to me is the craftsmanship. Every Fairfax is exquisitely handmade in Devon, using traditional techniques and an attention to detail you rarely see. From the frame to the tailoring, it’s created with such precision, you can feel the quality the moment you sit down.
It’s the sofa I’d choose to end the day on, curling up with a book and letting my mind wander.”
Come and experience the Fairfax for yourself in our Witney showroom and explore the wider Kingcome collection.

New in to our fabric library. A fresh collection of woven textiles from Sarah Hardaker.
Natural fibres, thoughtful colour, and subtle pattern, fabrics designed to sit easily within a home and layer into everyday living. A gentle nod to the season too, with lighter palettes and soft, understated patterns that bring a quieter, fresher feel as the light shifts.
Now available to browse in the showroom.
At Derwent House, we can guide you through the process, helping narrow down options, build a scheme, and bring everything together across curtains, blinds, upholstery and soft furnishings.
A good moment to start thinking about those easy spring updates. We would love to hear about any projects in the home we could help with.

At Derwent House, we’re always drawn to work that reflects the same values we hold across the showroom, considered, crafted and made with integrity. Pieces that sit easily alongside British upholstery, natural fibres and honest materials.
Handwoven using britished sourced wool. Thoughtful, and grounded in process, it layers naturally into the room rather than competing with it.
We’ve also added a series of smaller works on the ground floor. Each piece works beautifully on its own, but could just as easily be grouped. A considered way to build interest within a space.
A reminder that it’s often these considered additions, art, texture, material, that bring a space together.
