Description
A stunning testament to Mid-century furniture, the best-selling Heal’s Mistral elegantly teams 1950s style with a contemporary approach to design. Part of our luxuriously comfortable Mistral range, this corner sofa gives a touch of vintage glamour to the home expanding one of our most popular pieces for added comfort.
Our Stylist Says
This sofa is a great pick for creating a modern yet cosy living space thanks to its boucle velvet upholstery and natural beech feet. I love how versatile it is - perfect in both minimalist interiors and more layered, eclectic schemes. Its left-hand facing corner design makes it ideal for creating conversation areas or maximising seating in open-plan living rooms. For styling, consider pairing it with textured cushions and throws to enhance the tactile feel of the boucle, while complementing neutral tones with muted or warm colour accents to keep the look balanced. Practical tip: its deep seating works well with a variety of scatter cushions, and the durable velvet finish makes it a practical choice for busy households.

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.
