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 the Allora sofa for its understated elegance and versatile design. The melton wool in shale offers a sophisticated, textured look that works beautifully in both modern and classic interiors. It pairs well with neutral tones, warm woods, or contrasting colours for an eye-catching scheme. Practical styling tips include adding a few patterned cushions in complementary hues to soften the overall look, or pairing it with a cosy throw to create a relaxed, inviting feel. Its slender brass feet lend a touch of luxe detail, making it ideal for contemporary spaces, but it also suits mid-century or vintage-inspired settings. Overall, this piece is a smart choice for those wanting a stylish, comfortable sofa that’s both timeless and adaptable.

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.
