The Rivello range is a classic genuine leather sofa collection, made from real, natural hide for a look and feel that only leather can offer. It's a timeless, comfortable design that works beautifully in both modern and traditional rooms, and because there's a piece for every space — from a single leather armchair to a full suite, plus a matching footstool — it's easy to furnish a whole living room in one coordinated look. Every Rivello is a traditional, fixed sofa rather than a recliner. To see the wider choice of real-hide seating across the store, our genuine leather sofas collection is a good place to start.
Yes — the Rivello is genuine leather, a natural hide rather than a leather-look material. Genuine leather is breathable, hard-wearing and full of character, and it ages beautifully into a soft patina over years of use. Because it's a natural material, you may see subtle variations in grain, natural markings and gentle creasing where you sit — these are hallmarks of real leather and part of its charm, not faults. We keep genuine leather clearly distinct from leather-look Leather Aire (which we never call faux) and from fabric, so you always know exactly what you're buying — a real leather settee that will last and improve with age. To compare across the wider range, our leather sofas collection is a good reference.
There's a Rivello for every room. Choose a single leather armchair for a reading corner or an extra seat, a 2 seater leather sofa for smaller spaces and couples, or a generous 3 seater for the whole family. A matching footstool completes the look and gives you somewhere to put your feet up. Each piece is available on its own, or you can pair them up in a coordinated combination. All are the same genuine leather in your chosen colour, so a two seater leather sofa, an armchair and a footstool sit together perfectly. To see our wider choice of single seats, our leather armchairs collection is a good place to look.
As well as individual pieces, Rivello comes in matching combinations to furnish a whole room in one design. Combinations are written as a simple sum, where each number is a piece by its number of seats: 3 is a 3-seater, 2 is a 2-seater and 1 is an armchair. So 2+1 is a 2-seater plus an armchair, 2+2 is two 2-seaters, 3+2 is a 3-seater plus a 2-seater, 3+2+1 is a full suite of a 3-seater, a 2-seater and an armchair, and 3+3 is two 3-seaters — with 2+1+1 and 3+1+1 (a sofa plus two armchairs) available too. To browse coordinated sets across the store, our sofa sets collection is a good reference.
| Notation | What it means | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Armchair | A single leather armchair | An extra seat or a reading chair |
| 2+1 | 2-seater + armchair | Smaller rooms; a sofa and a single seat |
| 2+2 | Two 2-seaters | Flexible, symmetrical seating |
| 3+2 | 3-seater + 2-seater | A classic pair for a family room |
| 2+1+1 / 3+1+1 | Sofa + two armchairs | A sofa plus two individual seats |
| 3+2+1 | 3-seater + 2-seater + armchair | A full living-room suite |
| 3+3 | Two 3-seaters | Larger families; lots of seats |
The matching leather footstool is a lovely finishing touch to a Rivello suite. It gives you somewhere to rest your feet and put them up at the end of the day, doubles as an extra perch when guests are over, and — with a tray on top — can even serve as an occasional table. Made from the same genuine leather in your chosen colour, the footstool ties the whole look together. Some footstools also offer handy storage inside; check the product page to see what each one includes. To see the wider choice across the store, our footstools collection is a good reference.
Rivello comes in four genuine leather colours. Black makes a smart, confident statement and is wonderfully forgiving — a black leather sofa hides everyday marks well and suits both modern and classic rooms. Tan is a warm, timeless mid-brown that develops a beautiful patina with age, and it's easy to see why tan sofas are such an enduring favourite. Caramel is a rich, golden-toned shade with real warmth and depth. Cream is a soft, elegant off-white that keeps a room light and airy — it's worth being honest that, as a pale shade, cream shows everyday marks more readily and can pick up colour transfer from things like dark denim, so it rewards a little more regular care. To compare warm leather tones across the store, our tan sofas page shows the wider choice.
No — the Rivello range is made up of traditional, fixed sofas with a classic shape, not recliners. There's no reclining mechanism; the comfort comes from the generous cushioning and the natural give of genuine leather, which softens and moulds to you over time. This makes Rivello a clean, timeless choice if you love the look of a classic leather settee and don't need a reclining action. If you'd prefer a reclining sofa, our team can point you to our recliner ranges instead. To browse our wider leather choice, our leather sofas collection is a good reference.
Genuine leather is easy to look after and rewards a little regular care. Dust it and wipe with a slightly damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth, and apply a suitable leather conditioner every few months to keep the hide supple and prevent it drying out. Blot spills straight away rather than letting them soak in, avoid harsh chemical cleaners, solvents and abrasive sponges, and keep the sofa out of prolonged direct sunlight and away from radiators, which can dry and fade a natural hide over time. A pale colour like cream benefits from a little extra attention. Our guide to cleaning leather sets out a simple routine.
Measuring is key, especially for a combination or suite. Note the width, depth and height of each piece, and mark them out on the floor with tape so you can see how they sit together and whether you can move around them. Think about how a 3+2+1 or a sofa-and-footstool grouping will fit and flow in the room, and leave space to walk around it. And, as with any sofa, measure your access route — doorways, hallways and stairwells — before you buy. Our sofa buying guide covers measuring up in detail.
Yes. Every Rivello piece meets UK Fire Resistant (UKFR) standards, so the materials and construction comply with the fire-safety regulations required for upholstered furniture sold in the UK. This is a baseline legal requirement rather than an optional extra, and it applies across every piece, including the armchair and footstool.
Most in-stock Rivello pieces are delivered within 7–10 working days, with free delivery. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring each piece into your chosen ground-floor room, access permitting, and set it in place; old sofa removal can be arranged if you'd like your existing seating taken away at the same time. As a suite is a large delivery, it's worth measuring your doorways and hallways in advance. Full timescales and coverage are on our delivery information page.
