Description
Create a statement with the Eton range, a mid century style sofa that gives a look of luxury and offers a relaxed feel. This sofa combines a sleek, minimal aesthetic with the design details you would expect from Heal’s. The Eton has sumptuously filled seat cushions with neat blind stitch detail and its back cushions are filled with feathers for maximum comfort. The legs are available in a choice of brass plated aluminium or blackened aluminium finish for a contemporary look.
Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its sleek, modern silhouette and the rich petrol velvet that instantly elevates a space. Its two-seater size makes it versatile for both smaller living rooms and open-plan layouts, offering an inviting yet refined look. The black legs add a subtle contrast, grounding the bold colour. It works particularly well in contemporary interiors, or as a statement piece in more neutral schemes. For styling, consider pairing it with textured cushions in complementary hues or introducing metallic accents to enhance its sophisticated vibe. Practical tips include using a throw to protect the velvet, and placing it near statement lighting to highlight its lush fabric and colour, making it both a stylish and practical addition to your space.

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.
