Object Campbell-Rey Teddy Sofa

The centrepiece of most living spaces, a sofa must be chic, comfortable and durable. It must also nestle happily into its surroundings and welcome you after a long, frazzling day. All this to say that picking the right one can be a daunting task. Enter Campbell-Rey, the award-winning design studio founded in 2014 by Duncan Campbell and Charlotte Rey.

Often inspired by the lifestyle and rituals of Italy, the duo’s elegant aesthetic has won them private and commercial clients the world over. And we can see why from looking at the stylish Teddy, a minimalist, pared-back design with seat in aubergine and back in acajou. Upholstered here in velvet Pierre Frey Mohair (our favourite of the two available fabrics), this model sits on spherical hand-painted faux-coromandel feet, recalling the elegance of 1970s Milanese interiors. Perfect for entertaining discerning guests — just don’t let the little ones near it!
