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. Mid-century design featuring sumptuously filled feather and fibre cushion will provide an exceptional comfort. Compact design carries a small footprint for a sleek silhouette. The choice of legs are available in brass plated aluminium or blackened aluminium finish.
Our Stylist Says
I love this footstool for its versatile design and rich velvet finish, making it a stylish addition to both contemporary and classic interiors. Its evergreen hue adds a moody pop of colour that pairs well with neutral palettes or can serve as a statement piece in a bolder scheme. The black legs lend a sleek contrast, making it suitable for settings with minimalist, mid-century, or eclectic styles. Practical styling tips include using it as extra seating in a living room, or as a low-table surface topped with a tray in a lounge area. It works particularly well in interiors where textural variety is key, and its timeless look means it can be easily integrated into a variety of colour schemes and motifs.

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.
