Sofa cover, re-upholstery and curtains supplier Plumbs has debuted an online upholstery brand.
While Plumbs has been selling covers for more than 60 years, and through home visits since 1980, Fable & Plumb is online only.
Five UK-made designs are available with 12-week lead times. Prices start from £1,750 to £1,799 for a large sofa.
With a range of more than 400 removeable, washable fabric options, three seat filling options and five leg colour options, the company says it is offering the widest range of custom design options of any major sofa manufacturer and retailer in the UK.
The intention behind the brand is to enable customers to design a sofa that fits into their life for the long term, with the ability to update their decor in the future, without having to buy a new sofa to match.
‘The aim of Fable & Plumb is to provide sofas that are built to last a lifetime in every possible sense. The ability to replace fabrics on the same frame is not only a great lifestyle choice but also reflects the global movement away from high-waste consumerism and an emphasis on environmentally-conscious purchasing decisions in products that have a long lifetime of use,’ says Sarah Page, Plumbs md and grand-daughter of Plumbs founders Tim and Bernice Plumb.
‘Built to last through the journey of family life, the key target audience is families, who want both to live sustainably and also to have the flexibility to refresh and enliven their homes throughout their lives. With Fable & Plumb, a sofa is forever.’
