Our Founder, Khushal Ahmed

Khushal Ahmed’s journey from a 13-year-old tailor in Afghanistan to the visionary founder of The Sofa & Chair Company is a testament to relentless ambition and resilience. Arriving in the UK with just £20 and no English, he taught himself the art of furniture making from the ground up, driven by an unwavering passion for craftsmanship and design. In 2006, he launched his business with a single handmade sofa and a belief that quality and simplicity would set him apart.

Today, he leads The Larkbury Group, a collection of luxury design companies rooted in excellence, innovation, and customer service. Khushal's story is one of bold decisions, humble beginnings, and an unshakable belief in building something extraordinary through hard work and vision.
