Competition: Win a beautiful armchair and a good read (closed 30 June 2015)

David Parker May 20, 2015

Curl up in this rabbit-print armchair by sofa.com and Thornback & Peel - and lose yourself in a book on the natural world.

Founded in 2005, sofa.com offers exceptionally well-made, stylish and comfy sofas, chairs and beds, and service that’s second to none. A new addition, the Peggy armchair can be upholstered in any fabric from their house range of over 100 from £460, or in a fabric of your choice. It looks perfectly dressed in the Thornback & Peel Rabbit & Cabbage fabric in delft blue.

Thornback & Peel was established in 2007 to create beautiful, intricate screen- printed pieces for the home. Designers Juliet and Delia borrow imagery that plays on artistic traditions and combine modernist geometric patterns with 19th-century wood engravings. Their work is inspired by an eclectic mixture ofVictoriana, Mrs Beeton’s household management, Mr McGregor’s garden, 17th-century microscope imagery of the natural world, Norfolk and Devon. The Rabbit & Cabbage print is one of their most popular designs; this version is inspired by British blue and white tableware.

We’re even throwing in some reading material – the full shortlist of the Thwaites Wainwright Prize, which rewards the best nature writing. So you can enjoy the great outdoors even when you’re staying in.

What’s included and how to enter

  • Sofa.com’s Peggy armchair, upholstered in Thornback & Peel’s delft blue Rabbit & Cabbage print on Ivory Linen, worth £910.
  • The six nature books shortlisted for the Thwaites Wainright prize (for full details see page 81).
  • Enter below by 30 June 2015. View Iceberg Press’ full terms and conditions

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
