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 corner sofa is a stylish choice for both contemporary and understated interiors, thanks to its sleek velvet upholstery and neutral colours. I love how the black feet offer a subtle contrast that grounds the piece, making it versatile enough to blend with different colour schemes. It works particularly well in open-plan living areas or larger lounges where the corner configuration can optimise space and create a cosy, inviting seating zone. When styling around it, consider layering with textured cushions and throws in muted or metallic tones for added depth. Its clean lines also lend themselves to minimalist schemes, but it’s equally adaptable to more eclectic or mid-century modern interiors. Practical tip: pairing it with a coffee table that complements the natural feet or adding a statement rug can really pull the look together.

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.
