Description
The Allora Two-Seater Sofa is our latest collaboration with Danish studio Says Who. Designed exclusively for Heal's, the sofa features a slim shape and a lightweight frame, meaning it's the perfect fit for tight spaces. With a sprung base for comfort and Quallofil® Blue for sustainability – made from recycled bottles, no less – it comes in a choice of Heal's fabrics with a selection of finishes for the legs.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its versatile, mid-century inspired silhouette and the rich Cadet Black shade of the brushed cotton upholstery, which adds warmth and depth to a variety of interiors. It’s an excellent choice for both modern and retro-inspired spaces, especially those that embrace colour blocking or pared-back neutrals. As a sofa-bed, it’s practical without sacrificing style, making it perfect for small living rooms, guest rooms, or multi-functional spaces. Style tip: pair it with understated metallic accents or textured cushions in complementary shades to elevate its look, and keep accessories simple and contemporary to let the sofa remain the focal point. Its compact form and clean lines make it adaptable to a range of layouts, whether in a cosy nook or a larger open plan setting.

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.
