JAMES STEWART FURNITURE
James and Alexander Stewart came to Australia to establish a life of adventure and enterprise, building on their aspiration and love of the finer things to create James Stewart &Co..
As sons of a Scottish haberdasher their enterprising spirit brought them to open one of the first department stores in Australia on Brisbane’s Queen Street in 1860.
James Stewart & Co. with its custom home furnishings and manufacturing, café and fashion culture was revolutionary in its time.
The James Stewart Furniture Collection draws inspiration from this visionary great, great uncle, evoking his sense of charm and employing his eye for detail.

The Redford Sofa draws inspiration from iconic designs and styling emanating from Italy and the United States in the 1970s. Its broad frame shapes the arms and wraps the deeply cushioned back to create an all encompassing sense of style and comfort. Soft envelope edges soften the line of the arm and bring focus to hand finished saddle stitching.

Romeny Slipcover Sofa
Sophisticated in line, but built to be lived in. The shape is clean and considered; the seat is deep and forgiving. It looks tailored and sits like something you won't want to leave.
The slipcover is made to be washed. A wax-based protective agent is worked into the fabric itself, so spills sit on the surface rather than soaking in — practical, without ever looking it.
Chocolate piping traces the edges. A quiet bit of definition that lifts the whole piece and lets Romeny settle into any room — modern, classic, beachside, or anchoring an open-plan space.
Worth the room it takes.

Beatrix Slipcover Sofa
Italian stonewash linen in cinnamon — a colourway that's here for the long run, not just the season. Soft to the touch, warm in tone, and made to settle in.
The shape is what carries it. A classic P-arm and a rolled line that travels the whole way around the back, resolving cleanly at the arm — so Beatrix is elegant from every angle, not just the front. The cushions are loose and soft, the kind that flop and give. Tailored and relaxed at once.
This is a sofa that sidesteps the trends. Casual and refined in the same breath, and built to stay that way.
