Birdie 3 seater Sofa in Chocolate Plush velvet
100% made in England at our Manchester-based studio, but with classical French qualities, Birdie has spent many a summer in Paris with Polly – a fellow S. W. James 3 seater dame. Her low-slung, Chocolate velvet rolled arms – complete with stud detailing and velvet piping – are evocative of shoulders supporting weighty shopping bags, the result of hours spent traipsing the ChampsÉlysées.

100% made in England at our Manchester-based studio, but with classical French qualities, Birdie has spent many a summer in Paris with Polly – a fellow S. W. James 3 seater dame. Her low-slung, Chocolate velvet rolled arms – complete with stud detailing and velvet piping – are evocative of shoulders supporting weighty shopping bags, the result of hours spent traipsing the ChampsÉlysées.
Birdie’s devotion to being ever en vogue is demonstrated by her plush quality S. W. James velvet upholstery.
Her soft, supple exterior encases deep-seat cushions that’ve been injected with S. W. James’ signature comfort blend of layered foam, pocketed fibre, and Dacron fabric.
When she’s not jetting off to the home of Yves Saint Laurent and Coco Chanel, Birdie makes the perfect addition to a home that’s longing for an air of chic. Her trademark French design, combined with masterful English craftmanship, mean she’s perfect for both minimal style and making a statement. What we me to say is, in both her design and temperament, Birdie’s happy to sit atop her wooden and antique brass-mix, expertly tapered legs, centre-stage underneath a bay window… or artfully accenting a low-light corner of your room.
