One of our favourite coffee chains is called Coffee #1. It started life in Cardiff, Wales, and has spread to south Wales and parts of south west England. The chain makes commendable efforts to celebrate the town in which each shop is based, decorating interiors with paintings, quotations and photographs related to the locality. Another characteristic is the heavy use of second-hand furniture - you don't often see more than one or two of each design of chair in a shop. Recently we were having a coffee whilst sitting on a red leather, buttoned Chesterfield sofa. The worn and cracked leather appealed to me and I took this photograph of it with my phone.
