Based in the heart of the West Midlands, Sofa Connections has earned its reputation as one of the UK’s most trusted names in handcrafted, made-to-order furniture.
With every piece built by skilled artisans who take pride in their craft, the company remains firmly committed to keeping British manufacturing at the forefront of the upholstery industry.
As the team, headed up by husband-and-wife duo Matt and Sarah Oakley, prepares for the January Furniture Show 2026, anticipation is building for what promises to be its most exciting showcase yet.
“At Sofa Connections, craftsmanship is more than a slogan, it’s a daily practice,” says Sarah. “Each sofa and chair is handmade to order, with every frame, stitch, and detail carefully crafted to meet the highest standards of comfort and quality.”
The company’s manufacturing base in the West Midlands allows it to combine traditional upholstery skills with modern precision, ensuring that every item leaving the workshop represents the very best of British design and production.
“Quality and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we do,” added Matt. “We’re proud to make our furniture here in the UK, supporting local talent and ensuring our customers receive something truly special — furniture that’s built to last.”
This commitment to quality is matched by a continuous drive for innovation. The design team has been hard at work developing new models that blend timeless silhouettes with fresh, contemporary touches.
“The new collection will introduce a range of exciting new designs paired with on-trend fabrics,” Sarah continued. “From luxurious textures to bold new colour stories, the latest range captures the evolving tastes of today’s interiors while staying true to our reputation for comfort and durability.”
The January Furniture Show 2026 will provide the perfect platform to debut these new pieces to trade buyers, retailers, and designers from across the UK and beyond. With a refreshed line-up that reflects both heritage and innovation, the company is looking forward to strengthening existing relationships and creating new partnerships within the industry.
“As we step into 2026, we’re focused on combining the best of traditional craftsmanship with forward-thinking design,” said Matt. “The January Furniture Show gives us a chance to share our passion for British-made furniture and to showcase what makes Sofa Connections stand out.”
With its enduring commitment to quality, bespoke design, and genuine British craftsmanship, Sofa Connections is set to make a strong impression this January, and to continue leading the way for UK-made furniture in the year ahead.
