For life’s softest moments, your sofa should be made with care. That’s why we handcraft every sofa in-house, right here in The House of Raft, London.
Thoughtful, handmade production behind the scenes means there is a lead time before your sofa arrives. However, this is time well spent. It allows us to:
Prioritise Perfection - Every seam, edge and cushion is carefully finished. We only cut the exact amount of fabric needed for each sofa, to minimise waste and because our upholsterers are perfectionists.
Source responsibly - We use responsibly sourced European hardwood for our sofa frames because durable, eco-conscious materials are central to crafting forever furniture.
Support craftsmanship - We invest in local craftsmen and take pride in preserving the traditional techniques that make sofas last.
Handmade in England
All Raft armchairs are handmade in England, there is no small print. We are perfectionists when it comes to comfort and timeless designs.
Our specialised team of upholsterers, frame makers and cutters have perfected the craft of balancing form and function. What’s more, having our sofa factory so nearby makes Raft’s bespoke service even more personal.
