Parker Knoll’s Evolution Design 1701 is a modular system available from our made-to-order selection of bespoke recliner sofas and armchairs.
The 1701 collection features a range of classic and reclining mechanisms in generous proportions that give each piece a luxe contemporary aesthetic. The sofa of the future, this engineered collection boasts a lifting, adjustable headrest, its two button recline control fitted with a nifty USB port for connecting your devices.
With almost 150 respected years of expertise in the upholstery manufacturing industry, Parker Knoll demonstrate high-end handmade British furniture with ultimate style and comfort. The framework of each sofa and armchair is crafted in high-quality, durable timber with a 25 year frame and frame assembly guarantee, ensuring quality that’s built to last.
Suspension is then added to the frames, often using generous coiled wire springs, based on those designed by Frederick Parker’s business partner, Willi Knoll, during the late 1920s, offering a revolutionary solution to suspension systems in the earlier days of the business.
Your Evolution Design 1701 Sofa is then upholstered by hand in your choice of Parker Knoll fabric or leather, pattern matched to perfection where required, and completed with foam seat cushions and a wooden leg in walnut or washed oak or a metal leg in brushed steel.

The performance of all fabrics can be improved by carefully vacuuming or brushing once a week.
Regular reversing and vigorous plumping of your cushions will minimise creasing and help maintain their shape. Chenille and velvet have a tendency to show pressure marks and creases. This tends to be more noticeable when sunlight is reflected on the arms, seats and inside backs of your upholstery. This is a natural characteristic and does not affect the durability of the fabric. Prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause permanent fading.
Sitting on the front edge of seats or arms will cause premature wear to your upholstery. Allowing children to jump on your upholstery will also cause damage. If you spill anything on your upholstery, it is essential that you remove it as quickly as possible.
Each week wipe with a detergent free damp cloth. We recommend that surface coated hides have an application of hide polish every three months. If you have any doubts about the type of your leather, please contact our Customer Services Team on 03452 505502.
Leather is a natural product with differences in colour, marks in the folds of the skin, insect bites, scars and shading. When used, wrinkles and creases will form, this is a natural characteristic of leather, giving your suite a comfortable appearance.
