About the Parker Knoll Hampton Collection

Design Inspiration

The Hampton collection draws inspiration from classic British furniture design, featuring clean lines, refined proportions, and carefully considered details that create a sophisticated aesthetic. The high backs and padded arms reference traditional upholstery styles, while the overall silhouette remains elegantly simple. This approach creates furniture that looks equally at home in period properties and contemporary interiors—classic enough to be timeless, but refined enough to feel current.

Construction & Quality

Every Hampton piece showcases Parker Knoll's expertise in combining traditional furniture-making with advanced reclining technology. The frames are constructed from solid beech hardwood with reinforced engineering to support the reclining mechanisms through decades of use. Corner-blocking, precision joinery, and quality materials ensure structural integrity that justifies Parker Knoll's 25-year frame guarantee.

The manual reclining systems feature smooth, reliable mechanisms that operate effortlessly, while power recliner models include whisper-quiet motors for electronic operation. The seating uses high-resiliency foam with supportive cushioning that maintains comfort and shape through years of daily use. The high backs provide excellent head, neck, and shoulder support—particularly beneficial for reading, watching television, or simply relaxing.

Each piece is hand-finished by skilled craftsmen in Parker Knoll's Nottinghamshire factory, with careful attention to the padded arm construction, upholstery alignment, and overall finish quality.

Perfect For

Hampton suits those who appreciate classic British styling but desire the practical comfort of reclining functionality. The collection is ideal for those who value proper support during relaxation, families seeking comfortable yet elegant furniture, or anyone wanting the versatility to choose between fixed and reclining options without compromising on aesthetics.

The refined styling makes Hampton particularly suitable for living rooms where you want furniture that looks sophisticated when upright but offers genuine relaxation capability when you need it.

Why Choose Parker Knoll Hampton?

Classic Elegance Meets Modern Comfort
Hampton delivers what many customers seek—furniture that looks traditionally elegant while offering the practical comfort of modern reclining systems. The high backs and padded arms create a refined appearance that suits formal living rooms, while the reclining functionality provides genuine relaxation when you need it. It's the best of both worlds: sophisticated aesthetics and practical comfort.

Exceptional Support for Relaxation
The high backs provide superior head, neck, and shoulder support that makes Hampton particularly comfortable for extended sitting. Whether you're reading, watching television, or entertaining guests, the supportive seating and optional reclining positions help you truly relax. The padded arms add another layer of comfort, creating gentle support for whatever position you prefer.

Traditional Craftsmanship, Reliable Function
While Hampton features reclining technology, it's built with the same traditional Parker Knoll craftsmanship that ensures decades of reliable use. The solid beech frames, precision-engineered mechanisms, and hand-finishing mean you're investing in furniture that combines classic quality with modern functionality—not trendy pieces that compromise on construction.

Versatile for Different Needs
Hampton's range of fixed and reclining options means you can mix configurations based on your needs. Choose fixed sofas for traditional entertaining areas and power recliner chairs for personal relaxation zones, all within the same elegant collection. This versatility allows you to create a cohesive look throughout your living space while accommodating different usage patterns.

Armchairs typically measure around 95cm wide. Visit our showroom or contact us for specific dimensions for each configuration.

What's the difference between fixed, manual, and power recliner versions?
Fixed sofas provide traditional static seating with Hampton's classic styling.

Power recliners operate electronically with button controls, providing smooth, effortless adjustment. Power recliners require proximity to a power outlet.

As each Hampton piece is handmade to order in Parker Knoll's Nottinghamshire factory, delivery typically takes 10-14 weeks. We'll provide an accurate timeframe when you order and keep you updated throughout the manufacturing process. This made-to-order approach ensures your furniture is crafted specifically for you in your chosen upholstery.

Our team can show you the full range in our showroom, and we provide up to 8 free fabric samples to view at home. Hampton looks particularly elegant in traditional weaves and quality leathers that complement its classic styling.

Does Hampton come with a warranty?
All Parker Knoll furniture includes a 25-year guarantee on the frame and internal construction, plus 10 years on springs and mechanisms (including reclining mechanisms). This reflects the quality and durability built into every Hampton piece. The guarantee covers structural defects but requires proper use and care.

What makes Hampton different from other Parker Knoll collections?

Are Hampton recliners suitable for elderly or less mobile users?
Yes, particularly the power recliner models. The electronic operation means no physical effort is required to recline or return to upright positions. The high backs provide excellent support when sitting or standing, and the padded arms assist when rising from the chair. Many customers choose Hampton power recliners specifically for elderly family members.

How do I care for my Parker Knoll Hampton furniture?
Regular vacuuming, prompt attention to spills, and keeping furniture away from direct sunlight will help maintain your Hampton pieces. For reclining mechanisms, avoid forcing the mechanism and keep the area underneath clear. See our comprehensive Parker Knoll Care Guide for detailed maintenance advice specific to your fabric or leather choice.

Can Parker Knoll Hampton furniture be reupholstered?
