With fixed seat and back cushions, generously filled with layers of foam, the Alto provides soft comfort with plenty of lumber and back support. The gentle curve of the arms juxtaposed against slim metal legs, makes Alto the perfect combination of style and comfort. Made in the UK and available in the full range of Heal’s fabrics.
Our Stylist Says
The Heal's Alto 3 Seater in brushed cotton in a striking cobalt with black legs is a versatile piece that offers both comfort and style. I love its modern silhouette combined with the bold colour, making it a focal point in contemporary interiors. It works especially well in urban or minimalist schemes where its sleek lines and vibrant hue can be showcased, but also pairs beautifully with softer textures or muted tones for a balanced look. For practical styling, consider layering with mismatched cushions in contrasting fabrics and colours to add texture and personality. Its brushed cotton finish adds a touch of understated luxury, making it a practical yet elegant choice for everyday living spaces.

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.
