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
The Allora 2 Seater sofa in luxe velvet with biscuit hue is an excellent choice for adding subtle sophistication to both contemporary and classic interiors. Its sleek stainless steel feet give it a modern edge, making it versatile enough to sit comfortably in minimalist or more eclectic spaces. I love pairing this sofa with soft, neutral tones or contrasting textures like marble or wood to highlight its luxurious velvet finish. Practical styling tips include adding a mix of textured cushions and a cosy throw for a lived-in feel, or pairing it with a statement coffee table for a functional yet stylish setup. Its discreet sofa bed function also makes it a practical addition to smaller living environments or guest rooms.

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.
