Price History
Description
The Avio sofa, designed by Piero Lissoni, combines functional and comfort to balance with the lightness of the slim structural framework. The substantial volume of the seats comes from the variable density foam covered with polyester fiber. This volume is supported with a steel truss fitted with ‘fingers’ which creates an elevation and elegance as well as accentuating the shape of the sofa. This sofa is ideal for those who appreciate solid, elegant design that epitomizes a comfortable, relaxed lifestyle.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Avio sofa’s sleek silhouette and vibrant Tosca blue, which makes it a statement piece in any living space. Its bright chrome base adds a contemporary edge, making it perfect for modern and minimal interiors, but it can also work well in eclectic rooms for a pop of colour. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral-toned cushions and textured throws to soften the look, or contrasting it with bold accessories for a more playful vibe. It’s versatile enough to be the centre of a chic urban apartment or a stylish lounge area, aligning form with function effortlessly.

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.
