When Robyn decided to spring-clean her home in 2019, she was hoping for a fresh start after her divorce. “I was living in Melbourne with my two children and working as an urban designer for the government,” she says. As part of the clear out, she put two sofas for sale on eBay.
Chris spotted the advert and immediately got in touch. “They were by the same designer as the bed I’d bought and matched perfectly,” he says. “Robyn’s description was intriguing, too. She’d added information about her life, and her dogs and kids enjoying the couches.” At the time Chris was working as a photographer, living in Melbourne with his son.
