    The band sets the price, not the colour. Each upholstery option covers one or two Arketipo price categories and is priced at the higher of the two. Once you order, we'll go through Arketipo's fabrics and leathers in your band with you and confirm your exact choice before production starts. If you choose one from the lower-priced category, we refund the difference. Pelle B and Pelle Leonardo leathers are available on request.

    About the design

    You’d be forgiven if you didn’t start humming to hits of the Rolling Stones when you saw the title of this latest design from Arketipo. Hit after hit, the Stones knew that their gut punching riffs, R&B melodies and flamboyance could be the making of a band; we at Arketipo could be accused of the same. Design after design, we’ve come to understand what makes a hit in the world of interior living, Brown Sugar then, is just another evolution of our thought process. We’ve understood that simplicity reigns, that distinct lines and shapes form this unique design. We understand what is designed with purpose and what comes as an evolution of design form. What we deliver is something bold, a distinct personality of modern design. This is Brown Sugar.

    I bought a very nice sofa for an even better price in the TFU design shop. Lovely place to nose around. The guys are super friendly and helpful. They have a very good feeling for style and design. I trust them to refurbish/ decorate my house if I put it up for sale or rental.
