Sofas & Stuff x Royal Ballet & Opera
The Making
Where craft takes centre stage
The Making brings together Sofas & Stuff and the Royal Ballet and Opera in celebration of the people, processes and skilled hands behind exceptional work - from the artistry of performance to the craft of furniture making.
Together with the Royal Ballet and Opera, Sofas & Stuff have created something never seen before: four extraordinary couture pieces inspired by ballets and operas from the RBO repertoire.
"At the heart of this is the maker's hand."
Ricky Partner, Chief Marketing Officer, Sofas & Stuff
