Choose your favorite style and customize it in every detail, read reviews from past customers, and let yourself be inspired by English charm. We are ready to turn your design dream into reality.

VAMA Chesterfield sofas are new and made in our factory in Tuscany.

We are experts in the field and, since 1972, our upholstery factory has been producing English-style chesterfield sofas made by hand, respecting the characteristics of the old original English chesterfield sofas: solid wood frame, handmade quilted design, high quality leather. These features ensure stability and durability. We invite you to visit our production facility in Arezzo, Tuscany (Italy), to witness the craftsmanship and quality of our Chesterfield sofas firsthand. Each model can be customised by choosing from many upholstery materials: from full-grain leather to hand-aged leather, from real vintage leather to microfibre or velvet fabric. Furthermore, if the standard measurements do not suit you, we can make Chester sofas to measure to the centimetre. Discover your perfect Chesterfield sofa: select any model to personalize it and get an instant price based on your leather preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions and Myths About Chesterfield Furniture

Is there an "Original English" Chesterfield sofa or is it a marketing myth?

It is a myth to dispel: the "original" Chesterfield, understood as a registered trademark or a single official factory in England, does not exist. Chesterfield exclusively indicates a style of furniture born in the 18th century. Today, many sofas defined as "original English" are actually industrial products mass-produced abroad and simply imported. To clear this up, we have written a dedicated guide on "original" English Chesterfield sofas, with all the truths and myths to dispel. The real value of a Chesterfield lies in its construction method: solid wood frame, high-quality real leather, and deep buttoning (capitonné) rigorously folded by hand.

Why should I choose a VAMA handcrafted Italian Chesterfield over an imported one?

The difference lies in durability, authenticity, and transparency. Many cheap sofas use chipboard frames, light foam padding, and fake stitching to simulate deep buttoning. At VAMA, we create every Chesterfield following the true Italian upholstery school, a family art that you can discover by reading our story founded in 1972. There are at least 7 reasons to choose a VAMA Chesterfield sofa, starting with our 100% handcrafted production in our factory in Tuscany.

Are Chesterfield sofas and armchairs comfortable or just design objects?

The comfort of a Chesterfield depends entirely on how the interior is built. Cheap industrial models tend to be stiff and uncomfortable. Our handcrafted Chesterfields offer balanced comfort thanks to the use of high-resistance elastic straps (or biconical springs) and differentiated padding. Furthermore, you can customize the seat: if you love tradition you can opt for firmer cushions, if you look for total relaxation we can make them in soft goose down.

How can I be sure that the leather is real and of high quality?

Leather quality is visible to the naked eye and can be felt to the touch. For our Chesterfields, we only use genuine bovine leather from the best Italian tanneries. We offer different finishes: from full-grain leather to hand-rubbed antique leather, which recreates the typical patina of old English clubs. To give you maximum confidence, we offer the opportunity to receive leather samples at home before making a purchase.

How to recognize a high-quality handcrafted Chesterfield sofa?

A true handcrafted Chesterfield can be recognized by its solid wood internal frame, durable suspension, and, above all, the deep buttoning craftsmanship. In our workshop in Tuscany, the tufting is folded entirely by hand, button by button, without fake stitching. The leather also makes a difference: using premium materials ensures the sofa lasts for decades.

Is it possible to make a custom-sized Chesterfield sofa to the centimeter?

Yes, being direct manufacturers since 1972, we can modify any model in our collection. We can create custom-made Chesterfields both in length and depth, adapting the wooden frame to the specific needs of your space.

How much does a Chesterfield sofa cost and how is the price calculated?

Prices vary based on dimensions (2-seater, 3-seater, 4-seater, or corner) and the chosen upholstery category (leather, velvet, fabric). On our website, you can configure each model and calculate the transparent price in real-time. By purchasing directly from our factory, you eliminate retail middlemen costs.

How are the shipping and delivery of the sofa managed?

We ship throughout Europe using exclusively specialized furniture couriers. The sofa is packed with high-density protections to ensure maximum safety during transit, and delivery is scheduled via a telephone appointment to arrange the most convenient day and time.

Davide from Siena

I contacted Vama for some classic furniture. They had most of what I needed and they accepted to build other options i also wanted. Their responses were fast, friendly and professional. I have purchased furniture from many places and I was not sure what to expect, but to be honest the results are fantastic, vastly exceeding my expectations. The quality is clearly high and the prices very competitive. Good products are a testament to the great artisan industry in Italy, and the fact that they are young and passionate is even more reassuring, the artisan industry has a bright future ahead. I will definitely come back to Vama for any future need and I recommend 100%. Grazie mille!
