/ Made in London
All Raft sofas and armchairs are made by hand by skilled craftsmen in England’s capital. Raft prides itself on ensuring our workmanship is of the highest quality and we work closely with our factory on every order. Raft’s sofas and chairs are built through long-established processes so we know they’re made to last. Underneath the stylish exteriors of our sofas and chairs you will find solid hardwood frames which are glued, screwed and dowelled for extra strength. Our full grain leather hides come from Europe and age with grace, plus are cool in the summer and comforting in the winter.

ECO POLICY
ECO POLICY
Our Story Raft furniture grew out of the idea that beautiful home products could be ethically sourced, hand crafted – and available to buy at a reasonable price. So in 1999 we opened our first shop and we’ve been growing ever since. Now we have seven shops spread across the UK and offer an online service which allows customers to customise their own sofa, see it instantly and purchase with a click of the mouse. We’re passionate about what we do – we stand by our commitment to ecologically sound principals and our desire to offer a wide variety of furniture which is built to last.
Did you know? We use eco friendly solar powered kilns to dry our wood to ensure its of the highest quality for manufacture.
