Price History
Description
Perfectly capturing this season’s Deco Moderne theme, the new Fitzrovia sofa is a contemporary take on the traditional Chesterfield design. Featuring wide scrolled arms and a deep buttoned back, this luxurious sofa has been meticulously designed to deliver a strong silhouette from any angle whilst still being compact enough for smaller homes. Whilst generous in seating, Fitzrovia features a combination of neat proportions, comfortable sit and solid turned wooden legs available in black, natural and chestnut. Designed exclusively for Heal’s and made in the UK, the Fitzrovia is available in a wide selection of Heal’s fabrics as well as this rich Designers Guild Mulberry Varese Velvet as shown.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of this Fitzrovia velvet sofa for its clean Chesterfield lines and warm tawny hue - it brings depth without feeling heavy. The black wooden feet add a contemporary edge, so it works equally well in a pared-back Scandi scheme or a fuller, layered living room. Keep styling simple: team the sofa with a low-profile coffee table in metal or light wood and add scatter cushions in muted blues or ochres to pick out the velvet’s warmth. A textured rug underfoot and a slim floor lamp will ground the seating area, while leafy plants or a gallery wall soften the overall look.

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.
