"We manage the entire process in-house, from perfecting leather hand-finishes in our own tannery and hand-dyeing natural fabrics, to product design, production, and customer service.

"Sofa Workshop by Timothy Oulton customers can expect a focus on innovative design, exceptional quality and genuine attention to every last detail. I am looking forward to bringing our energy and expertise to the brand.”
