Tetrad: Over half a century of timeless good looks
Since 1968, Tetrad has employed a combination of traditional skills and the finest materials to make upholstered furniture that is designed to offer years of comfort.
The essence of elegance
The key to classic British style is its quiet refinement, which never dates. Tetrad’s designs are smart and stylish, and can be given their own distinctive look with a wide choice of high-quality fabrics & leathers in a range of patterns and colours, ideal for creating a wealth of inspiring looks.
Made by hand in Lancashire to stand the test of time
Traditional craft skills are the key to creating furniture that will offer years of service and keep its looks. The benefits of making in the UK, using skilled artisans with years of experience, range from high-quality construction to a significantly reduced carbon footprint, and the ability to deliver endless choice.
Materials
Crafted to an exceptionally high standard, in solid hardwood timber rails, Tetrad’s frames create a robust structure that comes with a 25-year guarantee. But the benefit of good quality materials isn’t just longevity; it’s also key to the appearance of Tetrad’s designs.
Harris Tweed - the quintessential Scottish textile, woven in the Outer Hebrides - as well as luxurious leather and tactile velvet - elevate the furniture to a new level, keeping its look for years to come.
