HANDCRAFTED SOFAS, BUILT FOR GENERATIONS

"We've spent years restoring furniture that has already stood the test of time. Our goal is simple: to build sofas worthy of doing the same."

Rich & Hannah Rice

Founders

Inspired by the furniture that has already survived generations.

Handcrafted to become the antiques of the future.

WHY OUR SOFAS ARE DIFFERENT

Built For Generations

Slowly crafted, carefully considered and made without compromise. Our sofas are designed for those who believe in choosing well, investing once and passing on furniture that only grows more meaningful with time.

Inspired By Antique Restoration

Years spent restoring exceptional furniture have given us a unique understanding of the materials, techniques and construction methods that allow furniture to endure for generations.

Natural Materials

We use the finest natural materials, selected for their comfort, durability and longevity. Trusted by generations of craftsmen and proven through centuries of use, they help create sofas that age beautifully and are built to last for generations.

Explore the F&H Collection

The antiques we admire today were never built to become antiques.

They were simply built properly.

Our collection of handmade sofas is created with the same philosophy. Built from natural materials, crafted using traditional upholstery techniques and designed to be enjoyed for decades before being passed on to the next generation.

Crafted Around You

Every Franklin & Hare sofa is made to order and can be tailored to suit your home, lifestyle and chosen specification. From size and comfort to fabric and finishing details, each piece is crafted specifically for you.

BESPOKE SIZES

While every Franklin & Hare sofa is available in a selection of standard sizes, each design can be individually tailored to your requirements. From seat depth and seat height to overall proportions and bespoke widths, we can refine every detail to ensure the perfect fit for your home.

FABRIC SELECTION

Fabric plays a significant role in defining the character of your sofa. As every Franklin & Hare piece is made to order and priced excluding fabric, you have complete freedom to create something truly personal. We understand that selecting the right fabric can feel overwhelming, so we offer expert guidance and personalised sample packs curated specifically for your home and lifestyle. Through our relationships with a carefully selected range of prestigious fabric houses, we can introduce you to an exceptional collection of fabrics, helping you create a sofa that feels entirely personal to you and your home.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

We believe exceptional furniture is defined by the details. From our signature Franklin & Hare castors, handcrafted in Devon using the traditional lost wax casting process, to carefully considered piping, braid, fringe and tailored skirts, every element contributes to the character of the finished piece.

Whether you prefer the relaxed elegance of a loose cover, the refinement of a tailored skirt or the practicality of handcrafted arm caps, each detail can be thoughtfully specified to complement your home and personal style.

It is this attention to detail — often unnoticed at first glance — that creates a sense of understated luxury and reflects the exceptional quality found throughout every Franklin & Hare sofa.

NATURALLY MADE . TRADITIONALLY CRAFTED . FOR GENERATIONS.

Built slowly, carefully and without compromise, our sofas are designed to become part of your family's story for generations to come.
