Crafted for Your Space

Every Calypso is built by hand in our Glasgow workshop using time-honoured techniques passed down through our family. We start with a robust hardwood frame reinforced with plywood facings and high-resilience webbing for superior seat and edge support. The seat cushion is wrapped in Dacron and filled with your choice of reflex foam in soft, medium or firm densities. Back and scatter cushions can be filled with fibre or luxurious feather for that perfect sink-in feel.

You can choose from over 1,000 exquisite fabrics and leathers, add elegant top stitching or refined piping, and select from turned wooden legs, a solid wooden plinth base, or sleek chrome feet. The result is a handcrafted upholstered occasional chair that looks and feels like it was made just for you.
