Our History
In the 1950’s John Sankey founded an upholstery business, famous for its quality and comfort, based here in the heartland of British upholstery; Long Eaton in Derbyshire. Today we are John Sankey – a family owned business since 1992.
Our heritage and skills allow us to use traditional and innovative techniques to produce both luxury traditional furniture and stunning contemporary pieces.
From the frame to the final stitch, our sofas, chairs, and footstools reimagine tradition, offering enduring quality and deep comfort. Made to be lived with and loved for a lifetime.

“OUR DESIGN PROCESS IS TO LOOK INTO HISTORY, TO LOOK AT STYLES AND DESIGNS FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND THEN BRING THESE INFLUENCES TOGETHER; CREATING NEW SHAPES TO SUIT REAL PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM EVERY DAY.”
