Price History
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 corner sofa because its bold petrol velvet finish instantly adds a pop of colour and sophistication to any living space. Its modern silhouette and brass feet make it versatile, suitable for both contemporary and eclectic interiors. It works particularly well in open-plan living rooms or larger lounges, where the substantial seat depth invites relaxation. For styling, consider pairing it with neutral or metallic accessories to enhance the richness of the velvet, and add textured cushions for comfort and visual interest. To keep it looking its best, opt for a velvet-specific cleaner and avoid placing it in direct sunlight to prolong the vibrancy of the colour.

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.
