Sofa Club and Lissy Roddy gathered fashion, interiors and culture tastemakers for an intimate runway dinner ahead of London Fashion Week.

Fashion, interiors and culture came together at Sofa Club HQ for AW26: After Hours – an intimate runway dinner celebrating our new season collection and The Lissy Roddy Edit.

What happens when the front row moves into the living room?

To celebrate our most fashion-led season yet, we transformed the Sofa Club Hertford showroom for AW26: After Hours – an intimate dinner hosted by fashion creator Lissy Roddy ahead of London Fashion Week.

Bringing together guests from across fashion, interiors, lifestyle and culture, the evening celebrated the Sofa Club AW26 Collection and The Lissy Roddy Edit, built around one idea: personal style doesn't end with what we wear.

Part runway. Part dinner party. Part collection presentation.

From Runway to Dinner Table

For one night only, our showroom's catwalk became the centre of the evening, transformed into one long candlelit dining table with the hero pieces of AW26 taking their place around it under dramatic runway spotlights.

The palette for the night? Brown, cream and chrome.

Soft draping surrounded the space, Mocha sofa fabric ran the length of the table, and polished chrome candelabras and metallic details brought a harder, fashion-inspired edge to the setting.

And naturally, the sofas took the front row.

THE COLLECTION TAKES ITS SEAT

Throughout the evening, guests could discover the new AW26 Collection and The Lissy Roddy Edit up close, including Lissy's three hero sofa selections: Arlo in Smokey Truffle, Keira in Sand Whisper and Inez in Cashmere Stone.

Each piece reflects the mood of the new season, bringing together soft neutrals, rich textures and statement silhouettes designed to make the living room feel every bit as considered as your wardrobe.

There was also a new arrival waiting in the wings.

Guests were given an exclusive first look at the Lissy Accent Chair ahead of its official launch the following day.

Upholstered in Moss Shadow chenille and finished with a polished chrome frame, the low-slung statement chair takes inspiration from mid-century design while bringing it firmly into the present.

It's the latest addition to The Lissy Roddy Edit and another example of fashion influences moving beyond the wardrobe and into the home – from earthy green tones to the return of polished chrome.

AFTER HOURS

As the evening moved on, the runway became a dinner party.

Lissy welcomed guests before Monika Puccio, Buying Director at Sofa Club, introduced the AW26 Collection and shared some of the fashion influences behind the new season.

Guests then sat down to a candlelit three-course dinner, finished with a showstopping Sofa Club sharing tiramisu served down the centre of the runway table.

After dinner, DJ Madam X took over the soundtrack as cocktails, conversations and DJ sets carried the night into After Hours.

Elsewhere in the showroom, fashion illustrator Amy Pozzilli captured guests sitting amongst the AW26 collection before turning their portraits into bespoke fashion illustrations to take home.

From the tablescape to the soundtrack, every detail of the night was designed to blur the lines between an interiors launch, fashion presentation and intimate dinner party.

Fashion Meets Home

AW26: After Hours represents where we're taking Sofa Club next: bringing fashion and home closer together.

Instead of approaching the new season as a traditional furniture launch, we looked to the world of fashion for inspiration – thinking in terms of collections, silhouettes, colour, texture, styling and seasonality.

Because the way we dress our homes is personal. A sofa isn't simply somewhere to sit; it's one of the biggest expressions of style in a room.

For AW26, rich browns meet soft neutrals, chrome sits alongside tactile fabrics and statement silhouettes become the focus.

Fashion doesn't stop at what we wear. This season, the front row came home.
