Description
The Argo Sofa combines clean lines and simple shapes on top of a solid canaletta walnut base. The generous proportions of the Argo offer a deep, low sit with a combination of memory foam, high-resilient crushproof foam and goose feathers. The seats lie on a thick flexible plywood panel covered by technical velvet, with holes to increase the air flow. The Argo is upholstered in 100% cotton velvet in a rich dark blue colour with the brass leg tips adding to the luxurious feel of this sofa.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its rich dark blue velvet, which adds a sophisticated yet inviting feel to any living space. The walnut and brass feet give it a contemporary touch that pairs beautifully with both modern and classic interiors. It works particularly well in colour schemes that incorporate warm woods, metallic accents, or neutral tones, allowing the deep hue to stand out. Practical styling tips include accentuating its luxe appeal with metallic or glass side tables, layering with textured cushions in complementary colours, and keeping the surrounding decor minimal to really let the sofa be the focal point. This piece is versatile enough to sit comfortably in a cosy family room or a more formal lounge 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.
