Product Description

A beautiful classic design with a twist, the Dorchester is a unique take on a traditional rolled arm sofa. The Dorchester features a gentle domed back, quirky curved armrests and intricate hand studding detail; all adding an interesting look to an otherwise conventional sofa style. Ample in size with a generous seat, the Dorchester is the perfect sofa to accommodate a growing family.

The Dorchester is designed in Australia, ensuring that the best aspects of Moran’s unique, luxury style are applied to new designs, staying relevant to local design influences and the modern Australian way of living. Bespoke manufacturing ensures each Moran piece made can achieve a luxurious level of comfort and attention to detailing, that often falls short with widely adopted mass production methods.

The Dorchester sofa features a kiln-dried, close-grain hardwood timber frame, providing the underlying quality framework needed for lasting structural integrity. Tempered Steel Sprung Structural Support ensures body correct support and the ultimate experience in long-lasting relaxation, while Spring Cell Seat Cushion Inserts add extra comfort and extend cushion performance, offering an additional layer of individualised support.

We utilise the highest-grade foams, padding, and fillers to allow for each model to achieve optimal aesthetics and structured good looks, bringing lasting luxury and visual enjoyment, for pieces that look as good as they feel.

Premium leather and fabric upholstery grade coverings are carefully selected for their fashionability and longevity, to suit modern Australian living and to offer best-selling looks and flexibility to work with popular interior trends.

Our 10 year structural warranty, backed by our Melbourne-based Customer Service and After Sales Department ensures you have quick access to support, service, and advice. Rest assured knowing your Moran warranty is guaranteed in writing. You sit in it, we stand by it.

Handcrafting the finest examples of bespoke upholstered furniture since the 1960’s. Moran Furniture is design in Australia for Australians and is an investment in uncompromised luxury and comfort. A Moran is a statement in style that commands attention.
