Description
The large Nimbus Corner Sofa, exclusively by Heal's, is perfect for family homes thanks to its generous proportions and comfortable sit. The Nimbus' spacious seats offer a deep, low sit with oversized feather and fibre-foam seat cushions as well as luxuriously soft fibre-filled back cushions. The family-sized sofa is expertly handcrafted in the UK using traditional upholstery techniques, so opting for a large sofa doesn't mean compromising on quality.
Our Stylist Says
The Nimbus II Large Corner Sofa in Velvet Grape is a versatile and luxurious piece that works well in both contemporary and classic interiors. Its deep, rich colour adds a sophisticated touch and can anchor a room while pairing beautifully with neutral tones or bold accents. I love it for its generous proportions and the plush velvet finish, which invites comfort. For styling, I recommend keeping surrounding decor minimal to let the sofa be the statement piece, or contrasting it with crisp whites and metallic accents for a modern edge. Practical tips include layering with textured cushions for extra comfort and durability, and positioning it near natural light to enhance the velvet’s lush appearance. It’s ideal for family rooms, open-plan living spaces, or any interior where comfort and style are top priorities.

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.
