Price History
Description
The strong personality of the BROOKLYN seats, is born out of the meeting between extremely innovative materials in the upholstery world, and retro lines that hint at the seats of old cinemas and Off-Broadway theatres. The structure lays on an lacquered aluminium subframe that features slender legs, living it an elegant lightness; the cuoio, leather or fabric frames are then of great impact, both on the side and back of the sofa, with their lightly rounded shapes housing the cushions in leather or fabric, themselves extremely soft, enveloping. The result is a seating system devoted to comfort and emotional design.
Our Stylist Says
This sofa shell, often referred to as the Amura Brooklyn, offers a sleek, contemporary look with its understated silhouette and neutral tones, making it a versatile focal point in many interiors. I love its clean lines and mix of leather and fabric cushions, which add a subtle layer of texture and comfort. It works particularly well in modern or Scandinavian-inspired spaces but can also blend seamlessly into eclectic or minimalist settings. To style around it, consider pairing with soft throws and cushions in contrasting colours or textures to add warmth and personality. Practical tips include using it in living rooms where a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe is desired, and placing it alongside other understated furniture pieces to keep the look balanced.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
