The iconic Diplomat sofa, designed by John Home for Howard Keith in 1970, is a true classic of 20th century British design. The sofa embodies the era's distinctive blend of luxury, craftsmanship, and elegance, offering both style and comfort. Featuring clean, geometric lines, plush cushions, and a sleek silhouette, the Diplomat sofa reflects the impeccable attention to detail and high-quality materials characteristic of its era.

This sofa has been fully newly upholstered in Rose Uniacke muffle alpaca velvet.  All foam part to the sofa have been changed. The webbing to the base has been replaced. The feet are rust free and without any corrosion. The sofa is presented in the best condition it can be in. The sofa does easily break down into smaller pieces making transport and most importantly placement much easier.

 

We do have a send sofa that has not yet been upholstered. If you are interested in a sofa needing upholstery, we can do this using our own team of specialists. Do get in contact for more details.
