Tucked away in the heart of the Cotswolds, The Lakes by Yoo feels like something from another world.
I spent the day exploring the beautiful lakeside properties with founder John Hitchcox, discovering interiors filled with warmth, texture and thoughtful design. Among the beautifully curated spaces sat one of our Coco sofas, specially commissioned for the home by interior designer Magda Devaris.
For this project, Magda selected her own bespoke upholstery fabric: a beautifully soft wool and flax blend woven in Yorkshire. Rich in texture and naturally fire retardant, the fabric brings softness and character to the room while complementing the calming natural palette of the surrounding landscape.
Step inside this beautiful lakeside home at The Lakes by Yoo:
Our Coco sofa sits effortlessly within the space, combining gentle curves, deep comfort and timeless British craftsmanship. Handmade in the UK using traditional upholstery techniques, it brings warmth and softness to the clean architectural interiors, while large windows and natural textures create an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and wonderfully relaxed.
At Sophie Conran, we believe a sofa should feel as beautiful as it looks - somewhere to gather, unwind and truly feel at home. Seeing the Coco sofa become part of these extraordinary interiors is a lovely reminder of how timeless craftsmanship can sit so naturally within contemporary spaces.
