The company’s brand, domain names and intellectual property were immediately bought by the fashion and homeware retailer Next.

It completes a reversal of fortunes for the London-based company, which was valued at almost £800m when it was listed on the stock exchange just over a year ago in the summer of 2021 and was vaunted as the future of furniture retail.
