Description
Beautifully designed by the Heal’s in-house team, the Alto sofa offers supreme comfort and sumptuous cushioning. 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
I’m a big fan of the Alto four-seater for its sleek silhouette, slim black legs and softly textured Capelo linen-cotton blend (with a hint of bamboo), which adds both comfort and durability. It sits equally well in a modern Scandi setting or a more eclectic, industrial-inspired space thanks to its neutral yet distinctive hue.
For styling, pair it with a low, black-frame coffee table and a mix of terracotta or ochre cushions to warm the look. A soft grey wool throw over one arm can add contrast, while a couple of potted plants or a sculptural side lamp will balance the sofa’s linear form without overpowering your layout.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional 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.
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.
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.
