Son has another different style of furniture (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheraton

'style of furniture' is the definition.
(furniture designed by Thomas Sheraton)

'son has another different' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's'.
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters.
'another' with letters rearranged gives 'heraton'.
's'+'heraton'='SHERATON'

(Other definitions for sheraton that I've seen before include "Thomas -, English furniture-maker" , "Classic furniture style found in North Sea" , "English furniture designer" , "Strange North Sea style of furniture" , "He produced furniture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
