A new way to buy a sofa, with sofa in a box company Swyft Home - Podcast Show Notes S5 E2

Deirdre and I chat to John O’Leary, the Design Director of Swyft Home in this episode of The DnA of Home Interiors Podcast.

Swyft sofas are delivered next day, and through any doorway and up any staircase.

We want to find out how this is all possible - and how Swyft do it without compromising on quality.

John gives us the background to the business, which was founded in December 2019, with a mission to solve some of the common problems people face when buying a sofa: long wait times - 6, 10 or even 12 weeks is often the case, and secondly, the fact that especially in cities, people are often limited to smaller sofas because of restricted access including narrow staircases up to their living room.

Take a listen to hear how Swyft are combatting this!

We talk about the various sofa models, see here:

John talks about the ‘Swyft-lok’ mechanism he designed to allow the sofas to be assembled (and dis-assembled!) without any tools and in less that 5 minutes.
