Description
A stunning testament to mid-century furniture, the best-selling Mistral elegantly teams 1950s style with a contemporary approach to design. Part of our luxuriously comfortable Mistral range, this roomy four seater adds a touch of vintage glamour to the home remaining one of our most popular pieces for over a decade.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Heal’s Mistral sofa for its sleek modern design and versatile colour palette, making it a great statement piece in contemporary or minimalist interiors. The smart velvet adds a touch of luxe, while the Mercury Black Feet give it a light, airy feel, helping it to sit well in both neutral and bolder colour schemes. It works particularly well in living rooms that blend comfort with style-pair with textured cushions or a cosy throw for added warmth. Practical styling tips include balancing it with patterned rugs or metallic accessories to elevate the modern vibe, and keeping accessories simple to let the sofa remain the focal point. Its clean lines and contemporary aesthetic make it a flexible choice that can easily be integrated into different interior styles with the right finishing touches.

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.
