Description
Velar is designed to recreate that oh-so-comforting feeling of sitting up in bed. It is naturally welcoming with a high curved back, open sides and generous proportions creating ample space for two people or more. An understated sofa with a relaxed low-to-the-ground position, Velar’s silhouette looks beautiful from all angles with a curved shape and minimalist steel tube frame.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Velar sofa for its sleek, minimalist design that offers a timeless appeal. Its neutral, subtly textured upholstery makes it versatile enough to suit both modern and classic interiors. This sofa works particularly well in living spaces with a relaxed, contemporary aesthetic or Scandinavian-inspired schemes, where clean lines and understated sophistication are key. Practical styling tips include pairing it with complementary neutral-toned accessories and layered textiles for added comfort. You can also introduce colourful cushions or throws to create visual interest and personalise the look. Its simple form allows it to blend effortlessly into various settings, from open-plan living rooms to cosy corners.

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.
