Description
Reviving a Danish design from 1952, this skillfully crafted sofa by Carl Hansen & Son combines artful woodwork and upholstery. Behind this elegant form lies true craftsmanship — from the sculptural wooden frame to the flowing cushioned curves, every part of this sofa creates a refined aesthetic. This 2 seater sofa is practical, compact, and a pleasure to sink into. Choose between a variety of finishes to match your interior design — from an oak or walnut frame to sophisticated textures in an array of colours.
Our Stylist Says
This sofa frame is a standout piece thanks to its sleek black oak finish and minimalist design, which makes it versatile across various interior styles, from Scandi to contemporary. The neutral upholstery in Hallingdal 130 adds a tactile softness that balances the darker frame, making it ideal for relaxed or mixed-material settings. It works well in smaller living spaces as a statement piece, especially when paired with layered textiles and subtle colour accents. For styling tips, consider adding a few throw pillows in complementary colours or textures for comfort and visual interest. Its understated elegance means it can also function as a guest bed when folded out, making it a practical yet stylish choice for homes where space efficiency is key.

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.
