A Chesterfield sofa is defined by its rolled arms, deep-button upholstery and strong visual proportions, but the right model depends on how you want to use the room. In this collection you can compare compact 2-seater sofas, classic 3-seater models, 4-seater designs for larger spaces, corner configurations and sofas with chaise longue.
Leather remains the traditional choice for a Chesterfield. VAMA uses selected bovine leathers from Italian tanneries, including smooth finishes, full-grain options and hand-rubbed or hand-distressed leathers that develop a more aged character. If you prefer a softer visual effect, selected models are also available in velvet or fabric.
A 2-seater Chesterfield sofa is useful where width is limited, while a 3-seater offers the proportions most commonly associated with the classic Chesterfield shape. For larger living rooms, the collection also includes 4-seater models around 275 cm wide. If a straight sofa does not suit the room, explore our corner and U-shaped configurations.
Many configurable models can be adapted in overall width, depth, upholstery, colour, feet and decorative details. For projects with non-standard dimensions, see our custom sofas service. Because proportions and internal construction vary by model, special dimensions are always checked for technical feasibility before production.
Our Chesterfield sofas are handcrafted in Tuscany using solid timber structures, carefully selected suspension systems and deep-button upholstery shaped by hand. To understand what separates traditional construction from mass production, read why choose a VAMA Chesterfield sofa and our guide to “original English” Chesterfield sofas.
Pair your sofa with our Chesterfield armchairs, Chesterfield poufs or a Chesterfield bed.
There is no single manufacturer that can claim to be the one and only “original” Chesterfield maker, nor is there one official Chesterfield factory in England. Chesterfield refers to a furniture style associated with British tradition and best known for its deep-buttoned upholstery. Today, the phrase “original English” is often used as a marketing term, including for sofas manufactured elsewhere. For more background, read our guide to “original” English Chesterfield sofas and the myths surrounding them. What really determines the quality of a Chesterfield is how it is built: a strong frame, carefully selected materials and properly handcrafted deep-button tufting.
The main differences are build quality, durability and the level of customization available. Many inexpensive mass-produced sofas use chipboard frames, lightweight foam and simplified upholstery techniques. At VAMA, we make our Chesterfield sofas according to the Italian upholstery tradition that our family has carried forward since 1972. You can also read the 7 reasons to choose a VAMA Chesterfield sofa, starting with our direct handcrafted production in Tuscany.
The comfort of a Chesterfield depends on its internal construction, suspension system and cushioning. Our handcrafted models are designed to provide balanced support using high-resistance elastic webbing or biconical coil springs combined with carefully selected padding. The seat can also be customized: choose firmer cushions for a more traditional feel or softer fillings, including goose down, for a more relaxed and enveloping level of comfort.
Leather quality can be assessed by its surface, feel and the way it develops character over time. For our Chesterfield sofas, we use genuine bovine leather selected from Italian tanneries. Different finishes are available, from full-grain leather to hand-rubbed and hand-distressed leather designed to recreate the patina of traditional English clubs. Before ordering, you can also request leather samples so you can see the colour, grain and finish in person.
A well-made Chesterfield can be recognized by several details: a strong internal frame, a suitable suspension system, carefully balanced cushioning and precise deep-button upholstery. In our Tuscan workshop, the tufting is created by hand, shaping the folds and applying each button individually. The upholstery material matters too: quality materials and proper construction are essential to ensuring that the sofa performs well and lasts over time.
Yes. As direct manufacturers since 1972, we can adapt many models in our collection to suit individual requirements. We can modify dimensions such as overall length and depth, adjusting the internal frame to the available space while preserving the proportions and character of the chosen design.
The price depends mainly on the model, size and upholstery selected. A 2-seater, 3-seater, 4-seater or corner sofa requires different quantities of materials and different production times, while the chosen leather, fabric or velvet category also affects the final cost. On our website, you can configure available models and see the price update according to your selections. Buying directly from the manufacturer also avoids the retail markups associated with intermediaries.
We deliver throughout Europe using carriers experienced in furniture transport. Each sofa is carefully protected with suitable packing materials to reduce the risk of damage in transit. Delivery is arranged in advance, normally by telephone, so that the day and time window can be coordinated according to the selected service and destination.
We bought a red chester sofa and the whole purchase process was perfect! Logistics, delivery and quality iš flawless. Now we enjoy new sofa in our home, it fits perfectly and adds to cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend:)

We bought two leather chesterfield sofas. The handcrafted quality is exquisite and we are truly delighted with them. The leather is the best quality and it is clear that we will get many years’ use from them. We visited the factory to enable us to choose the correct sofas for our needs and we were extremely impressed with the personal service we received. Every question we had was answered and we left very satisfied. The sofas arrived safely and at a time that suited our needs. This was a first class service from a company that clearly takes time to provide excellent customer service and quality of work.
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!
Excellence in the industry. Impeccable sofas and armchairs. Punctual and precise both during our choice and after the order was placed. Very quick replies to my queries, always within 24 hours...
