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
I love this corner sofa for its smart velvet finish and natural feet, which lend a refined yet approachable look. It’s a versatile piece that works well in both modern and eclectic interiors, especially those with rich textures or earthy tones. The forest green adds a wealth of colour without overpowering a space, making it an excellent statement piece or part of a more layered scheme. For styling tips, consider pairing it with neutral or patterned cushions to add interest, and place it in a room with plenty of light to highlight the velvet’s softness. It’s also worth keeping the surrounding palettes subdued if you want the sofa to be the focal point, or mixing it with warm woods and metals to create a cosy, sophisticated atmosphere.

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.
