The Box is a single, distinctive sofa design with clean lines, square arms and a backrest that stands straight and upright, finished in black faux leather. It is made to anchor a room with a sharp, modern silhouette rather than a soft, rounded shape, which is why it suits contemporary and industrial-style interiors.
The same design language runs across every size, from a single armchair up to a large set, so you can keep a consistent look whichever configuration you choose. It is a bold, minimal style at an accessible price.
It is important to be clear about the material: the Box is upholstered in faux leather, a leather-look synthetic material, not natural hide. The “Black Leather” in the name describes the look rather than the material. Faux leather is what keeps the price low and the surface wipe-clean, but it is not genuine leather and will not age or last like natural hide.
If you specifically want the character and longevity of natural leather, our genuine leather sofas range is the place to look. If the modern look and easy care matter more than long-term durability, the Box is a practical, budget-friendly choice.
The Box comes as an armchair, a 2-seater and a 3-seater as standalone pieces, and as matching sets in 2+1, 3+1, 2+2, 3+2, 3+3, 2+1+1, 3+1+1 and 3+2+1 combinations. That lets you match the seating to the size of your room, or build a coordinated set for a larger space.
Availability of individual sizes varies, and at the moment several of the larger options are out of stock, so it is worth checking the product page for what is in stock before you decide. To see other multi-piece options in the same easy-care material, browse our sofa sets range.
The appeal of the Box is its shape. Square arms, a straight back and clean, angular lines give it a structured, architectural look that holds its form rather than sagging into a soft, shapeless mass. It is a sofa that makes a deliberate statement in a modern loft, an industrial-style apartment or any room with a contemporary scheme.
Black faux leather reinforces that look, keeping everything crisp and easy to wipe clean. To see how it sits among other modern designs, browse the full sofas collection.
Black faux leather is a practical, value-led choice. It gives the smart, dark look of leather for far less, wipes clean in seconds, and hides everyday marks better than lighter colours or fabric. Spills sit on the surface rather than soaking in, which makes it forgiving in a household with children or pets.
Black also suits almost any room, working in modern and industrial settings especially well and pairing easily with the colour scheme you build around it. For the wider choice of dark sofas in other materials, take a look at our black sofas collection.
Start with the room and how many people you seat regularly. A 2-seater or armchair suits a smaller space or a second seat; a 3-seater works as a main sofa; and a set such as a 2+2 or 3+2+1 coordinates seating across a larger room. Bear current availability in mind, as some larger sizes are out of stock.
Taking the size decision first, then the configuration, keeps things simple. Measure the wall length where the sofa will sit, leave clearance to walk past, and our team can talk the options through with you if you are unsure.
Measure the wall length where the sofa will sit and leave clearance to walk past. For a set, plan where each piece will go before ordering so the seating works as a group. The Box's straight lines make it easy to place flush against a wall, which helps in a smaller or more angular room.
Just as important is the route in: measure your doorways, hallways and any tight turns before ordering, so each piece can reach the room. The individual product page lists the exact dimensions for each size.
Each material suits a different priority. Faux leather is the value option: a wipe-clean, leather-look surface at a lower price, though it will not last or age like natural hide. Genuine leather is the premium natural material that softens and gains character over years and needs occasional conditioning.
Fabric offers the softest, warmest feel and the widest choice of colours and textures, but generally needs more care with marks and spills. If a softer finish appeals more than a leather look, take a look at our fabric sofas range before deciding.
Faux leather is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth whenever it needs it, then dry it. Avoid abrasive pads and chemical cleaners, which can damage the finish, and blot spills promptly rather than letting them sit.
Keep the sofa out of the direct path of strong sunlight and away from radiators and other direct heat, as sustained heat can dry the surface and lead to cracking over time. Because black hides everyday marks well, a quick regular wipe is usually all it takes to keep the Box looking sharp.
A good faux leather sofa lasts for years with everyday care. It will not match the lifespan of genuine leather, but it is hard-wearing and copes well with daily use. The most common cause of wear is neglect — harsh cleaners, direct heat or strong sunlight — which can eventually lead to cracking or peeling.
Kept away from radiators and direct sun, wiped with a soft damp cloth rather than abrasive cleaners, and with claws kept trimmed if you have pets, the Box's faux leather surface stays intact and looking smart for a long time.
Black is the most striking, contemporary choice and the one the Box is designed around, anchoring a modern or industrial scheme. If you would prefer something a little softer while keeping the same easy-care faux leather, a paler shade lifts a smaller or darker room.
For a lighter neutral in the same wipe-clean material, compare the Box against the wider faux leather sofas range.
Most in-stock sizes arrive within 7–10 working days, with free delivery to England and Wales. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring the sofa into your chosen room, access permitting, and fit any feet or connect any sections on-site — so there is no flat-pack building for you to do.
It is worth checking doorway and hallway measurements before your delivery date, particularly for a multi-piece set, so the team can get everything into place. You can read the full details on our delivery information page.
