Our Stylist Says
I love this sofa for its luxurious velvet finish and sleek silhouette, which instantly elevates both contemporary and classic interiors. The rich Mulberry hue gives it a sophisticated edge, making it a great statement piece in a minimalist lounge or layered within a more eclectic scheme. Its clean lines and black feet help it feel grounded, while the plush cushions invite comfort. Practical styling tips include pairing it with metallic or glass side tables for a modern look, or soft, textured throws to add warmth. It works especially well in versatile spaces-think open-plan living rooms or cosy reading nooks-where it can anchor the room and bring a sense of opulence without feeling overbearing.

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.
