Sloane: Sofa.com's Most Expansive and Design-Led Modular System to Date

This autumn, sofa.com is making a bold statement, launching their largest and most luxurious sofa to date. With its adaptable modular configuration, Sloane is ideal for openplan living and for clients seeking flexibility without compromising on style.

Featuring generous proportions, a low-slung silhouette and a distinctive angled corner module, Sloane presents a sculptural alternative to the traditional L-shape. The innovative angled module maximises seating potential while transforming the corner into an inviting, design-led focal point. This unique configuration supports fluid, sociable layouts – perfect for zoning larger living spaces.

Inspired by the ‘Pure’ trend – rooted in minimalism, tactility and longevity – Sloane’s design is grounded in both aesthetics and functionality. It rests on a solid oak plinth, balancing its substantial scale with visual lightness. Comfort is equally considered: a Quallofill fibre and shredded foam blend provides resilience, shape retention and a sink-in feel suited to everyday lounging.

Available in over 100 upholstery options – including high-performance Aquaclean fabrics, leathers and natural fibres – Sloane offers both customisability and long-lasting durability for the modern home.

Ciel Console Table: A Sculptural, Family-Friendly Form for Modern Spaces

The Ciel console table reimagines a classic form through the lens of organic modernism. Upholstered entirely in fabric and topped with solid oak in a walnut finish, it offers a tactile experience and a safety-conscious design for family homes.

With soft, continuous curves and rounded edges, Ciel eliminates sharp corners, making it ideal for homes with young children without compromising on style. With its soft form, Ciel adds visual interest and sculptural presence to any space. Measuring just 44cm deep, it's perfect for compact layouts, whether used as a console or a slimline writing desk. Designers can choose from sofa.com’s full upholstery library or apply COM (Customer’s Own Material) for a truly bespoke finish.

Whether used as a standalone statement or integrated into a cohesive scheme, Ciel balances function, form and safety with design-forward appeal.

Jonathan Clark, Creative Director at Shelved, has given his insights into the industry.

Shelved specialises in modular storage and shelving solutions that blend style and function for modern interiors.

What are the origins of the brand?

Shelved was launched in May 2021 as a direct-to-consumer extension of Rack Systems Ltd, a long-established British manufacturer of commercial furniture components. Based in rural North Yorkshire, Shelved was founded on the vision to bring high quality, modular furniture directly into people’s homes—with over 30 years of manufacturing expertise behind it.

The concept began as a commercial, adaptable shelving system. Realising its potential in residential spaces, Creative Director, Jonathan Clark, reimagined it for the home, building the brand and product range and including nuances to suit this market. Behind the scenes the team developed the product, ensuring specification and assembly were made as simple as possible, via our online product configurator and by adding a patent pending “click together” assembly system for ease and longevity.

How do your products and services enhance interior design projects?

Modularity & Customisation: Built around a 40 × 40 cm grid, the Shelved system empowers designers and clients to create storage or display solutions that fit their space and functional needs.

Configurator Plus AR Tools: The intuitive 3D product configurator allows you to create, customise, and visualise designs in real time. Even better, the augmented reality (AR) feature lets you see the design in situ before ordering.

High-Quality, Made in Britain: All furniture is designed and manufactured in Shelved’s North Yorkshire factory. The steel framework, panels, all components—and even packaging—are UK-made and delivered directly, offering both quality and value.

Sustainability & Longevity: With durable steel, recyclable materials, and a re-configurable nature, products are built to adapt, not to be thrown away, fully aligning with sustainable design principles.

Shelved

What value does your specialist sector add to the industry?

Shelved occupies a unique modular, made‑in‑Britain furniture niche, blending industrial robustness with interior design flexibility. Its modular system isn’t just functional; it evolves with the user’s lifestyle and aesthetic, offering long-term value, customisation, and reduced waste. This stands in contrast to typical flat-pack furniture, which is often disposable and hard to adapt.

Being accredited by Made in Britain reinforces Shelved’s commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical manufacturing standards.

How do you work with interior designers?

Free Design Service: Shelved offers a complimentary one-to-one design consultation. Designers can share client needs in the form of dimensions, style, function—and the Shelved team delivers thoughtful proposals and works through revisions as needed.

Trade pricing: We recognise the valuable contribution and benefit of working with interior design professionals, and are keen to reward and support partners that specify our product. We offer incentivised pricing to ensure the partnerships are mutually beneficial for all involved.

Trade Accounts & Galleries: There’s a dedicated Trade Gallery and collections, like Commercial Spaces, specifically tailored for design professionals.

Configurator & AR Tools: Designers benefit from powerful tools to iterate designs with clients visually and interactively.

Shelved

What has been your most significant company highlight or success from the past year?

One of our proudest moments this year was completing and delivering one of our largest single configurations to date for renowned artist Paul Kenton. Designed specifically for his studio space, this bespoke three-sided installation brought together a variety of elements—vinyl storage, integrated planters, and a mix of open and closed shelving—into one cohesive, functional, and visually striking design.

This was a truly substantial configuration that showcased the full potential of our modular system, combining practicality with aesthetic impact. Seeing it installed in Paul’s creative workspace was a real testament to how Shelved can deliver on large-scale, highly tailored projects without compromising on our core principles of quality, adaptability, and British manufacturing.

We were also thrilled to collaborate with Zara and Giuliano of @thefoxesmaltings, whose stunning home was featured on Grand Designs. Bringing their vision to life was an absolute joy—from the first design discussions to the final installation, every step was infused with creativity and attention to detail. Their project was a perfect showcase of how Shelved can seamlessly blend into a bold, architecturally ambitious interior, adding both functionality and a refined, custom aesthetic. Being part of a home with such a captivating story, and seeing it celebrated on a national stage, was incredibly rewarding for our whole team.

What are the latest trends you’ve noticed in your client’s requests?

Feature & Media Walls: Customers are embracing bespoke media installations combining open shelving with concealed storage—often blending materials like oak, anthracite, and brass pins for a balanced and stylish look.

Room Dividers: Modular units are increasingly used as statement room dividers, adding both function and artistry to open-plan spaces.

Material Mixing & Minimalism: Contrasting white minimalist frameworks with warm wood accents, peeking brass hardware—there’s a strong lean towards subtle minimalism and texture contrast.

How do you see the interior design industry evolving in the year ahead?

Demand for Flexible, Eco-Conscious Design: As lifestyles continue to shift—working from home, changing spaces, sustainability focus—designers and clients will seek furniture that’s adaptable, durable, and eco-friendly.

Tech-Integrated Planning: Visual tools like 3D configurators and AR will become more standard in client engagement and project development.

Customisation as Standard: “One-size-fits-all” is fading; there’s a growing expectation for furniture tailored to personal style, storage, and spatial needs.

Shelved is well-positioned in each of these trends.

Shelved
Shelved

Is there anything new you are excited to be working on?

We’re currently developing two brand-new ranges that will take everything people love about Shelved to the next level. These collections will still embody the core principles that define us: exceptional quality, British manufacturing, modular configurability, and adaptable design - but will push those values further than ever before.

Both ranges will offer greater dimensional control and expanded customisation options, giving designers and clients even more freedom to create perfectly tailored solutions for their space. By enhancing the precision and flexibility of our designs, we’re making it possible to achieve a truly bespoke feel while maintaining the ease, durability, and timeless aesthetic that Shelved is known for.

This season, sofa.com invites designer professionals to explore dining schemes that embrace lightness – both in mood and material. As we move into spring and the Easter period, there’s an opportunity to reimagine the dining room as a place of quiet optimism and crafted charm.

Start by layering tactile textures. The upholstered Anders dining chairs act as a create canvas for either one of sofa.com numerous fabric choices, or a fabric of your own selection. Its gently flared arms and tailored silhouette make it particularly suited to intimate dining arrangements; especially when positioned around a circular table that encourages connection and conversation. The effect is one of considered comfort: elegant, but never overworked.

For larger architectural spaces with vaulted ceilings, introduce weight and contrast through these angular, block-formed chairs. Their solid silhouettes are best showcased when given enough room to standout.

This spring, tactile and tonal palettes continue to lead. Think soft clay or soft-hued walls, calming fabrics and earthy herringbone flooring underfoot. Combining these elements creates a cosy yet fresh aesthetic ideal for the warmer months and neutral enough to seasonally transition with simple décor changes like tablecloths, floral arrangements and artwork.

Finally, tie everything together this spring with a statement dining table. A sculptural stone pedestal table is a focal point, blending classic curves with modern materials, ideal for both casual and formal dining.

Whether hosting informal brunches or long, candlelit suppers, the result is a dining space that feels as thoughtfully composed as it is lived in.

Richard Davonport, Owner and Managing Director of Davonport Kitchen & Home, has given his insights into the industry.

At Davonport, we have been designing and crafting bespoke handmade kitchens and furniture for over 30 years, creating beautifully tailored interiors that seamlessly blend form and function. Every piece is thoughtfully made in our UK workshop, using the finest materials and time-honoured techniques to ensure lasting quality and character.

Our bespoke approach allows us to collaborate closely with designers and clients, shaping interiors that feel both timeless and entirely personal. Whether it’s a statement kitchen or furniture for the whole home, we take pride in balancing elegance with practicality, ensuring each space enhances the way people live. From initial concept to the final details, our meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to excellence, create interiors that feel effortlessly refined, unique, and made to stand the test of time.

Davonport Kitchen & Home
Davonport Kitchen & Home

What are the origins of the brand?

Davonport was founded on a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, something that has been part of my family for generations. My father, Aubrey, was a member of the British Woodcarvers Association, and from an early age, I was surrounded by the art of woodworking. This instilled in me a love for fine craftsmanship and attention to detail.

After studying Furniture Design and Cabinet Making, I set up my own workshop in the early 1990s, initially creating fine furniture before shifting my focus to handcrafted kitchens in 1996. As demand grew, so did Davonport, leading to our move in 2013 to a purpose-built workshop and showroom in Colchester. While the business has evolved, our values remain the same—working with the finest materials, using time-honoured techniques, and creating furniture that not only enhances interiors but also stands the test of time. As I often say, “It’s not just a job, as the furniture we make carries my name.”

Davonport Kitchen & Home

How do your products and services enhance interior design projects?

At Davonport, we believe that every interior should be a reflection of the people who live in it. Our bespoke kitchens and furniture are thoughtfully designed to complement each project’s unique aesthetic, ensuring a seamless integration with the wider interior scheme. No two kitchens are ever the same—we take the time to understand the vision, crafting spaces that are not only beautiful but also practical and tailored to individual lifestyles.

Our expertise extends beyond cabinetry, allowing us to support interior designers with everything from spatial planning to material selection, ensuring a cohesive and well-balanced design. Whether providing guidance on colour palettes, lighting, or statement finishes, we collaborate closely to create interiors that feel harmonious and considered. From initial concept to installation, our meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure that every space we create is timeless, functional, and designed to be lived in.

Davonport Kitchen & Home

What value does your specialist sector add to the industry?

We feel that truly exceptional interiors are built on craftsmanship, quality materials, and thoughtful design. Our bespoke approach allows us to create kitchens and furniture that not only enhance the aesthetic of a space but also add genuine long-term value to a home. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our handcrafted pieces are made to last for generations, promoting sustainability and reducing the need for replacements over time.

For interior designers and architects, this means having complete creative freedom—every detail is tailored to complement the wider scheme, ensuring a cohesive and beautifully considered result. Our expertise and collaborative approach allow us to support designers at every stage, from concept through to installation, making the process seamless. In an industry that often leans toward fast furniture and fleeting trends, we take pride in championing authenticity, craftsmanship, and enduring quality, helping to create interiors that are as timeless as they are functional.

Davonport Kitchen & Home

How do you work with interior designers?

Collaboration is the key to creating beautifully cohesive interiors. We work closely with interior designers, offering a flexible approach that adapts to the needs of each project. Whether providing full kitchen and interior planning—including flooring, lighting, and colour schemes—or simply focusing on the layout and design of our bespoke furniture, we tailor our involvement to complement the designer’s vision.

Our handcrafted kitchens and interiors are designed to seamlessly integrate into wider schemes, ensuring a balance of aesthetics and functionality. We understand the importance of detail, precision, and high-quality materials, which is why we take the time to refine every aspect of our work. With our expertise in bespoke craftsmanship and an open, collaborative approach, we help designers bring their concepts to life, creating interiors that feel considered, cohesive, and effortlessly elegant.

Davonport Kitchen & Home

What has been your most significant company highlight or success from the past year?

Sustainability is an integral part of our approach, and in 2023, we took a significant step forward by installing solar panels across our 20,000 sq. ft. workshop roof. This investment now allows us to generate enough electricity to fully power our showroom and head office, as well as a substantial portion of our workshop, reducing our reliance on external energy sources.

This builds on our previous sustainability efforts, including upgrading our workshop roof insulation in 2022 to improve energy efficiency. These initiatives reflect our ongoing commitment to responsible manufacturing—ensuring that our handcrafted kitchens and interiors are not only made to last but are also created with a mindful approach to the environment. By continuously refining our processes, we aim to support designers in creating interiors that are as considered and sustainable as they are beautiful.

Davonport Kitchen & Home

What are the latest trends you’ve noticed in your client’s requests?

We’re seeing a renewed appreciation for natural timbers in kitchen and interior design, whether as a primary material or a subtle accent. This shift towards organic textures brings warmth and authenticity to spaces, and as craftsmen, we love working with wood to highlight its unique character and timeless appeal.

Alongside this, there’s a growing preference for bold statement stones, with advancements in porcelain technology allowing for full bodied veined surfaces and dramatic finishes. These materials add a sense of luxury and individuality to worktops and splashbacks, helping to create kitchens with real personality.

We’re also noticing a resurgence in deeper mouldings and intricate detailing, adding depth and elegance to interiors. This blend of classic craftsmanship with contemporary materials reflects a movement towards enduring, thoughtfully designed spaces—something we always strive to achieve in our bespoke kitchens and furniture.

Davonport Kitchen & Home

How do you see the interior design industry evolving in the year ahead?

The interior design industry continues to evolve, with a growing focus on sustainability, natural materials, and designs that stand the test of time. More than ever, clients are moving away from fast trends and instead investing in high-quality, thoughtfully crafted interiors that feel personal and enduring.

Bespoke craftsmanship is becoming increasingly sought after, as homeowners look for spaces that reflect their lifestyle and individuality. From carefully curated materials to tailored design details, there is a shift towards interiors that balance beauty with longevity—creating homes that feel both considered and effortlessly timeless.

Davonport Kitchen & Home

Is there anything new you are excited to be working on?

We’re fortunate to be involved in a variety of beautifully designed projects, from bespoke kitchens to full-home interiors, each crafted to reflect the unique style and needs of our clients.

Beyond our design work, we’re particularly excited about our ongoing commitment to nurturing the next generation of craftsmen and women. Our Davonport Gauge of Excellence competition, held at a local college, challenges aspiring artisans to test their skills in a timed furniture-making challenge, helping them refine their craft under real-world conditions. We also work closely with the college, hosting showroom and workshop days where students can experience the practical application of their skills—whether in design, cabinet making, or fine craftsmanship. Supporting emerging talent in the industry is something we’re incredibly passionate about, and we’re always looking for ways to inspire and encourage the future of bespoke furniture making.
