Hepburn Right Hand Facing Corner Sofa - Leather Px30 Chocolate 066 - Walnut
Our Stylist Says
I love the Hepburn corner sofa for its versatile and timeless design, especially in its rich leather finish. It works particularly well in contemporary or classic interiors that embrace a neutral or warm palette, adding a touch of sophistication. Its chocolate leather is practical for everyday use and ages beautifully, while the walnut feet offer a subtle contrast that grounds the piece. For styling, consider pairing it with textured cushions or throws to soften the leather and introduce tactile interest. It’s an ideal choice for both cosy family spaces and stylish open-plan living areas, providing comfortable seating with a sleek, tailored 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.
