Handmade in the UK

Description

Immensely enticing, the Dolittle three-seater sofa is ideal for unwinding with a good book or enjoying relaxed conversations with friends and family. Its gently arched back elegantly frames its generous seat and works particularly well when bookended with table or floor lamps. It comes without individual cushions leaving you free to customise it with your own.

At NiX, quality and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we do. Our made-to-order upholstery is proudly crafted in the UK by our partner that has been handmaking fine furniture for over 60 years. The Dolittle three-seat sofa's FSC-certified beech hardwood frame and solid oak feet are carefully joined and secured with a Lifetime Guarantee for complete peace of mind.

The beauty of the Dolittle's simple form is that it can be dressed up or down. For example, this piece is upholstered in our soft but strong Laidback Linen fabric that brings a relaxed and informal feel to the interior. Crafted in Italy through a meticulous process of weaving, dyeing, and tumbling, our Laidback Linen comes in a palette of carefully chosen colours that work seamlessly with our NiX checks and stripes.

Seat cushions are carefully filled with a 50:50 mix of Spanish Barbary duck feathers – a by-product of the meat industry – and Quallofil Blue, a recycled fibre. The result is a cushion that you can sink into yet keeps its shape, eliminating the need for frequent plumping. Fabric covers are expertly stitched and every component is individually upholstered to be well-used and well-loved for years to come.

  • Fabric: 100% Linen

Care Instructions

Once a week, use your vacuum cleaner’s upholstery nozzle to help stop dust from building up. You can also use a soft, clean brush to clean the fabric, paying particular attention to the arms and any pleats. This will help to combat fabric wear and stop colour fading. 

Our seat cushions have the same fabric on the top and bottom, making it easy to flip them over when plumping.

Lifetime Guarantee

At NiX by Nicola Harding, we believe it is our responsibility to make things that last.

Our products are designed to be future heirlooms, investment pieces that will stand the test of time and endure across generations. That's why all our upholstery frames come with a lifetime guarantee. 

Crafted in the UK with meticulous attention to detail from seasoned, FSC-certified hardwood, our frames are shaped with a bandsaw before being drilled, assembled by hand and sanded by our experienced frame makers. Each frame component passes through around 15 different machining processes before being finished, ensuring the highest possible quality.

Beautifully Useful

Over the twenty years that our interior design studio has been in business, we’ve found it hard to find pieces that meet our exacting requirements of purpose, provenance and price; a side table of a particular scale, the perfect floor lamp or kitchen pendants that work just so. NiX by Nicola Harding was created to bring these beautifully useful but hard-to-find pieces to life.

Designed by our award-winning founder, Nicola Harding, and tried and tested in our interior design projects, our furniture, lighting and made-to-order upholstery collections are designed to layer easily into your home. Refined yet reassuringly familiar.

Nicola Harding & Co

Made to Last


At NiX by Nicola Harding, quality and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we do. Each piece in our collection is made by our trusted network of skilled craftspeople in the UK and Europe using traditional techniques and responsibly sourced materials.


Our upholstery is made to order at a factory in Derbyshire, England, which has been crafting fine furniture for over 60 years, while our furniture and lighting is made by craftspeople in Europe at factories with whom our studio has long-standing relationships.

From the carefully constructed beech hardwood frames of our upholstery to the hand-mixed paint we use to make our wallpapers, every element of each product is carefully considered to ensure that each piece can be well-loved and well-used for years to come.

Nicola Harding & Co

Responsibly Crafted


From the type of materials we use to our packaging and beyond, we strive to make responsible choices. We make products that create a positive legacy for homes, the community and the environment.​


As much as possible, we use natural fibres and yarns that are sustainably sourced and are biodegradable. All of our cotton and linen fabrics are made using organic fibres while our intelligent velvets are made from 60% recycled yarns.

Our wallpapers are printed on unocated paper using water-based inks and we only use FSC Certified wood in our furniture. As part of our efforts to foster a kinder, gentler and more responsible way of living, we have developed services that facilitate the recycling of packaging and products.
