Made to Order Sofas

Handcrafted in Portugal for residential and hospitality projects, in your choice of fabric, finish and size.

Why Choose Our Sofas?

Ben Whistler knows sofas. We have been making elegant, comfortable examples for 25 years, and in that time have refined every detail; from the springing methods, which respond to the individual style and shape of the sofa, to the fillings used: our sofas feature a 70/30 mix of down and feather, significantly higher than the industry standard, making them exceptionally comfortable.

Blue Label sofas are created in the same way, and by the same craftspeople, as Ben Whistler’s bespoke pieces. However, by removing the initial stage of making templates and cutting patterns for a fully bespoke commission, lead times are cut to just five weeks from receipt of your fabric. If you’re keen to get the comfort exactly right for you or your client, we welcome you to try out a selection of sofas at our Chelsea studio.

Our collection spans a wide range of styles to suit different interiors and purposes. From classic designs that anchor a hotel lobby or residential living room, to contemporary pieces suited to modern hospitality projects, every Blue Label sofa is built for durability and visual impact. Whether you are specifying bespoke sofas for a boutique hotel or a private residence, each piece is made to order, ensuring it reflects the unique requirements of your scheme.

Custom Finishes and Fabrics to Suit Every Interior

Every Blue Label sofa is made to order, allowing designers to specify every detail to achieve the perfect fit for their scheme. We welcome COM (customer’s own material) upholstery, giving you complete freedom over colour, pattern and texture. Timber finishes for legs or plinths can be chosen from our curated palette, and additional details such as decorative studs can be added where appropriate.

Because our luxury sofas are handcrafted in Portugal by expert makers, you can be confident of both durability and refined finish. This made to order approach means your sofa will integrate seamlessly into the interior, whether specified for a hotel lounge, a restaurant or a private home.
