The Sofas & Stuff<br />

story -10th<br />

Anniversary<br />

ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />

The Sofas & Stuff story began back in 2009.<br />

Founder Andrew Cussins tells us more...<br />

“I noticed a gap in the market with regards to selling bespoke,<br />

handmade, British sofas and beds online and from quirky non<br />

high street locations” explains founder, Andrew Cussins. Ten<br />

years on and now with 13 showrooms across the country, Sofas<br />

& Stuff celebrate their anniversary with the company’s best<br />

ever year.<br />

After spending a lifetime commuting and traveling all over the<br />

world, Andrew and his wife Julia wanted to start a business close<br />

to their home in the Sussex Downs. “Lunch at home seemed like<br />

a nice idea” Andrew adds. As luck had it, a beautiful timbered<br />

barn became available in the village of Fittleworth, and the rest<br />

is history.<br />

“In those early days we found we had customers who were<br />

driving for hours to come and see us. One day, one particular<br />

customer commented that they loved the experience at Sofas<br />

& Stuff so much, because the barn ‘didn’t feel like a shop’. In<br />

that moment, what was intended to be an online only company<br />

morphed in an instant into a mixture of online and beautiful<br />

quirky, off-pitch, bricks and mortar.” Andrew explains.<br />

Andrew adds “Those early days seem a long time ago now, but<br />

what we learnt then, we still abide by today.”<br />

Sofas & Stuff are ever growing and with over 40,000 happy<br />

customers over the years, the brand is always looking at ways<br />

to expand.<br />

The latest release to launch with Sofas & Stuff is the introduction<br />

of their brand new fabric collection. Sumptuously soft and<br />

durable, the new Essential Collection from Sofas & Stuff is<br />

an affordable and wide range of rich and neutral fabrics. With<br />

154 colours to choose from; including clever glossy velvets,<br />

stain resistant cotton blends, herringbone and basket weaves,<br />

to classic linen mixes and soft wools. As well as three new<br />

sofa designs, engineered to retail at a lower price point, whilst<br />

maintaining their obsessive level of product quality.<br />
