Sofa, Liberty-Merci Swap Shop, £3,000.00 at Liberty.jpg
By Kate Burnett, idfx

There are few things that look quite as romantically English as Liberty fabric but perhaps it takes a French woman to reinvent the classic floral in sofa form. Marie France Cohen, founder of Paris store Merci, has seized the chance to create a sofa that is both feminine and very British, and has shoppers on both sides of the channel lining up for the limited edition pieces.

So for those who yearn for the prettiest of sprigged upholstery to finish a rustic interior, or perhaps a charming summer-house or shabby-chic conservatory, hot-foot it to Liberty on London's Carnaby Street where Paris store Merci is selling its sofa until the end of this month. Amazingly it takes only two weeks to come from France where it is designed and made. Vite, vite! www.liberty.co.uk
